Notes & reviews

Pitcher Gagne ejected by HP umpire Eddings for throwing at batter ball four to Edmonds was behind him
fan interference
Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder ejected by HP umpire Doug Eddings for arguing about the strike zone after he was out; he took a long time to leave the dugout while still yelling at Eddings, so the game was delayed until Fielder left
