Notes & reviews

Ensberg thought he walked and started for 1B but it was only ball 3; Berkman started for 2B; HP umpire Davidson called time; the Mets tagged Berkman out in a rundown but the umpires put him back on 1B; Mgr Randolph complained and then Bench Coach Sandy Alomar Sr. ejected by 3B umpire Rob Drake
