Notes & reviews

with Michael Bourn running on the pitch, Jeff Keppinger struck out; HP umpire Mike Everitt ruled that Keppinger interfered with catcher Jason Kendall's ability to throw to 2B on the steal and called Bourn out for double play
Jose Guillen fouled off a pitched but catcher Humberto Quintero was called for catcher's interference; the Astros argued the call; there was a catcher's interference with the batter and a batter's interference with the catcher in the same game
