Notes & reviews

LF Jordany Valdespin attempted to catch Jason Heyward's sinking liner but caught it on one bounce; 3B umpire Dale Scott called it a catch and Martin Prado was tagged trying to go back to 1B; the umpires huddled and reversed the call to no catch and placed the runners on 1B and 2B; Mets Manager Terry Collins argued that they had one out on the play and was ejected by Scott
