Notes & reviews

Lou Piniella's last game as manager of the Cubs; he had announced his decision to leave the post at the end of the season but family matters required him to leave early; this was also Bobby Cox's last game at Wrigley Field as he had announced before the season that 2010 would be his last season as a manager. Both managers presented their lineup cards at the pre-game meeting, which is now quite uncommon
