Notes & reviews

on a close pitch at the bottom of the strike zone with a 3-1 count, Astros hitter Jeff Keppinger flipped his bat thinking he had walked; when HP umpire Eric Cooper called it a strike, the Astros bench reacted; Astros Manager Brad Mills came up the stairs and was told by Cooper not to come on the field; when Mills stepped on the field, he was ejected by Cooper
the throw by Astros pitcher Aneury Rodriguez was high and pulled 1B Carlos Lee off the bag; Andrew McCutcheon ran into Lee in an ugly collision but both players stayed in the game after a delay. Originally scored E1, changed to single on 7-21
