Notes & reviews

3B umpire Scott Barry ruled that Phillies Ryan Howard did not check his swing for the second strike; Howard glared at Barry, who put his hands on his hips and glared back; the third strike was another check swing that Barry also ruled as a swing; Howard threw his bat and yelled at Barry and was ejected by Barry as he tossed his helmet away; Howard then charged toward Barry while HP umpire Greg Gibson tried to stop him; Howard told Gibson 'Don't you talk to me' as he moved down the 3B line; he had to be restrained by teammates and 2B umpire Sam Holbrook; Ross Gload was yelling from the bench; he was on the DL and not allowed to interact as he was doing, so he was ejected by Gibson
the Phillies were out of position players, so pitcher Roy Oswalt was put in left field and left fielder Raul Ibanez moved to first base
Raul Ibanez dove and tagged the bag to get the out on the bunt
