Notes & reviews

Rolen returns from two games off with food poisoning
Pujols missed the tag at 1B but chased after DeRosa and tagged him
Molina tried to reach around Blanco to catch the popup; Molina apparently tagged Blanco, threw to 2B where Eckstein stepped on the bag and then threw to 3B where Rolen tagged DeRosa for an apparent triple play; after Piniella complained, the umpires conferred and Blanco was called out for interference
Cedeno did not realize it was ball four and slid into 2nd. He overslid the bag and was called out
