Notes & reviews

Mets second baseman Luis Castillo left the game due to an injured leg
the Reds batted out of order when David Ross hit in Corey Patterson's spot; Ross flew out to right and then Mets Mgr Willie Randolph told the umpires about the issue; Patterson was called out instead of Ross; then Ross batted again and singled; bad move by Randolph
