Notes & reviews

Jeff Keppinger's gounder was bobbled by Orlando Hudson, who picked up the ball and threw to first; Keppinger was called out by 1B umpire Casey Moser on a very close play; the Astros bench exploded, Keppinger yelled at Moser, but was restrained by 1B coach Jose Cruz; Astros manager Cecil Cooper argued with Moser and was ejected very quickly
