Notes & reviews
- umpchange,4,umphome,davib902
- umpchange,4,ump2b,(None)
- Devin Mesoraco's bat broke and the barrel hit HP umpire Jerry Layne on the left side of his head; Layne stumbled and fell face down at the edge of the grass; both trainers ran onto the field; Layne was down for several minutes but eventually walked off the field and was taken to the hospital for evaluation; 2B umpire Bob Davidson moved behind HP; X-rays and an MRI showed no fractures, but Layne will miss the rest of the series as a precaution
