Notes & reviews

Protest=V
LaRoche hit a check swing dribbler down the third base line; Sabathia tried to pick it up with his bare hand and failed; after the game, the Brewers were angry about the call and filed a protest with MLB since it was the only hit of the game
fan interference
Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson left the game due to an injured hand/wrist
