Notes & reviews
- as Chase Utley attempted to field the slow roller, Jose Vidro collided with him; Vidro called for interference
- foul ball off plate hit Geary in face, he was removed for a left-handed who completed the strikeout hitting right-handed
- Rollins and Baerga got tangled up after throw went past first, and Rollins was awarded second
