Notes & reviews

Starlin Castro dove and caught Chris Johnson's grounder on the grass in the shortstop hole; Castro jumped up and his throw barely beat Johnson to 1B; Johnson was upset when 1B umpire Tim Tschida called him out; although Johnson did not say anything, he slammed his helmet to the ground and was immediately ejected by Tschida
