Notes & reviews

Cubs manager Piniella ejected by HP umpire Drake for arguing check swing call made by 1b umpire Fairchild; as Piniella walked toward Fairchild, HP umpire Drake trailed him up the line and ejected him for his comments to Fairchild
Jim Thome 522nd HR to pass Ted Williams and Willie McCovey; Thome's 55th homer in interleague play, the most of any player
