Notes & reviews

replay,1,willj004,WAS,cousd901,NYC20,O,Y,I,,H $Josh Willingham hit a fly ball to CF that struck the wall just to the right of the vertical line indicating a home run; the ball was called in play and three runs scored on the triple; the third runner, Adam Dunn, ran over the Mets catcher, Rod Barajas, and the ball rolled towards the backstop; Willingham tried to score on the misplay but was tagged out by Barajas; the umpires huddled on the field and then crew chief Derryl Cousins watched the replay and overturned the call to a grand slam home run
Debut game for Raul Valdes
