Notes & reviews

the Nationals thought the third pitch to Michael Morse hit him; manager Davey Johnson talked with HP umpire Sam Holbrook, who huddled with the other umpires; when they said the pitch did not hit Morse, Johnson argued the decision and was ejected by 3B umpire and crew chief Joe West
orginally scored as single and E7, changed next day
Nationals Bench Coach (and acting manager) Pat Corrales yelled that the first pitch to Rick Ankiel was high; Corrales was ejected by HP umpire Sam Holbrook
Nationals CF Rick Ankiel made a one-hop throw from deep right center, a few feet in front of the warning track; it took one hop to 3B Brian Bixler
Reds Manager Dusty Baker ejected by 2B umpire Chad Fairchild for arguing the caught stealing
