Notes & reviews

Although Winston Abreu was the pitcher of record when the Nationals took the lead in this game, the official scorer invoked rule 10.17(c) to give the win to Jesus Colome; Abreu was deemed to have been ineffective due to the fact that three of the six batters he faced in his inning reached base and two runners scored
Mets left fielder Moises Alou left the game due to tightness in his quad muscle
