Notes & reviews

Rolen's follow-through carried him across the plate and he was called for interfereing with Jason Kendall's throw by HP umpire Angel Hernandez; Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa argued the call
Lee's follow-through carried him onto the plate but no interference was called on the play; LaRussa again argues
