Notes & reviews

replay,4,wrigd002,NYN,hallt901,NYC20,F,N,I,,H $David Wright's fly ball struck the base of the RF pole and ruled a home run; Astros manager Tony DeFrancesca asked about the call so crew chief Tom Hallion watched the replay and upheld the call; Wright's 200th career homer, just the third player to hit 200 for the Mets (Strawberry and Piazza)
