Notes & reviews

umpire crew chief Joe West ordered the lights to be turned on and Braves manager Bobby Cox objected to the delay after his new pitcher had warmed up; Cox was ejected by West
Debut game for Francisley Bueno
Alfonso Soriano stood at the plate watching his long fly ball, evidently thinking it was a home run; when it hit the fence, Soriano only reached first base; he was booed by Cubs fans and apologized to his teammates later
the first pitch by Francisley Bueno to Alfonso Soriano was behind Soriano's head, which was possible retaliation for Soriano's pose at the plate in the previous inning; Bueno was ejected by HP umpire Ed Rapuano; this was Bueno's first game in the majors
