Notes & reviews

Astros left fielder Carlos Lee left the game due to an injured ankle
Mark DeRosa made a diving, head-first slide around SS Angel Sanchez but his hand came off the bag; as DeRosa tried to get his left hand back onto the bag, Sanchez tagged him; DeRosa was called out by 2B umpire Dan Bellino; DeRosa jumped up yelling at Bellino, who yelled back; as DeRosa walked off the field, Giants Manager Bruce Bochy walked out to talk with Bellino; the conversation started calmly but escalated and Bochy was ejected by Bellino
