Notes & reviews

ball hit right over bag; Berkman fielded and dragged foot over base, then threw just late to second; 1B umpire Jerry Crawford said Berkman missed base, but replay is clear that he had touched it; argument from Berkman and manager Garner, but no ejections
Garciaparra ejected by HP umpire Hallion for arguing called third strike
