Notes & reviews

  • replay,10,brucj001,CIN,gormb901,PHI13,I,N,I,,H $Jay Bruce's fly ball was caught and dropped by a fan at the fence; it was ruled a homer but, after a brief umpire conference, crew chief Brian Gorman watched the replay and upheld the call as the fan did not reach out over the fence to touch the ball
  • Phillies 2B Wilson Valdez, who had three hits in the game, moved to the mound and earned the win
