Notes & reviews

catcher Nieves threw behind Cedeno at 2B but Cedeno broke for 3B and easily beat the relay throw; Blanco moved up on the play
the ball bounced off Nick Johnson's glove; pitcher John Lannan did not cover 1B; Nick Johnson started to the bag once he picked up the ball but had no chance to beat Reed Johnson to the bag
