Notes & reviews

Astros pitcher Wandy Rodriguez left the game due to a sore groin
Ryan Spilborghs made a diving catch moving away from the plate; the ball appeared to bounce out of the glove; Spilborghs held the ball up in his bare hand and 2B umpire Mark Wegner ruled it a catch; Houston manager Cecil Cooper came out to protest the call; the umpires huddled and let the call stand; Cooper was ejected by HP umpire Rick Reed
