Notes & reviews

Angel Sanchez fouled the 2-2 pitch and it was caught by catcher Mike Nickeas; however, HP umpire Doug Eddings ruled that the ball hit the ground before the catch and was therefore not strike three; Mets Manager Terry Collins argued with Eddings for a while and eventually was ejected by Eddings
Mets second baseman Justin Turner ran into shallow CF to catch the ball; CF Angel Pagan ran in and reached toward the abll as Turner caught it; Pagan's left elbow hit Turner's right shoulder, knocking off Pagan's glove; he remained in the game
Mets center fielder Angel Pagan left the game due to a tweaked oblique muscle
Astros RF Hunter Pence ran over near the foul line to catch Jason Bay's fly; the ball hit Pence on the left forearm and rolled into the corner, allowing Bay to run the circuit
