Notes & reviews

Marlins Manager Fredi Gonzalez ejected by HP umpire Adrian Johnson for arguing balls and strikes; he also yelled at 3B umpire Fieldin Culbreth before leaving
Dan Uggla's hit down the LF line rolled into foul territory and was played by the ball girl; this is treated the same as fan interference
