Notes & reviews

Adam LaRoche was called out on a pitch that started inside and moved onto the edge of the plate; he talked to HP umpire Alfonso Marquez as he walked away; Nationals Manager Jim Riggleman came out of the dugout to get LaRoche off the field and was talking with Marquez at the same time; after a brief exchange from a distance away, Riggleman was ejected by Marquez
