Notes & reviews

Perez fielded the come-backer and threw late to 2B; the ball was dropped by Lopez as he attempted to make the transfer to throw to 1B
the ball hit the wet grass in front of Langerhans and skipped by him to the wall
1B umpire Lance Barksdale ran into the outfield for any play on the fly ball; HP umpire Dana DeMuth ran towards 1B for a play there; Nationals pitcher Odalis Perez ran into DeMuth about 15 feet from the bag and DeMuth, while trying to avoid a collision, tumbled to the ground and did a barrel roll; his hat came off as he came up; he caught the hat and then made the call on Izturis for the double play
1:51 rain delay
Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols left with a tight left calf
49 minute rain delay
Debut game for Mark Worrell
the game ended at 12:19 after two rain delays totaling 2:40
