Notes & reviews

the ball stuck under padding on the fence, Phillies CF Shane Victorino held his arms up to signal that the ball was out of play, but LF Raul Ibanez grabbed the ball and threw it into the infield
the play was called no catch at first with Bruntlett running to third, but after Mets manager Jerry Manuel argued the call, the umpires huddled and reversed it to call Bruntlett out; replay showed he was out; Phillies manager Charlie Manuel argued the reversal and was ejected by HP umpire Mark Wegner
15th unassisted triple play in history (including one in the World Series), but only the second to end a game (Johnny Neun in 1927)
