Notes & reviews

  • Phillies pitcher Antonio Bastardo left the game due to an injured neck/shoulder
  • Matt Stairs did not hustle to score from 3B on this fly out; the out at 1B was recorded before Stairs crossed the plate so the run did not count
  • replay,7,burrp001,TBA,cedeg901,STP01,I,N,I,,H $the ball bounced into the seats; crew chief Gary Cederstrom watched a replay to determine if there was fan interference as the ball was leaving the field; after a 1:36 delay, he said that the ball went into the seats cleanly and sent Carl Crawford, who had scored on the play, back to 3B; MLB Vice President Mike Port told Cederstrom the next day that he was not allowed to use replay in that circumstance
