Notes & reviews

the 0-1 pitch to Danny Espinosa was just off the inside corner and was called a ball by HP umpire Gary Cederstrom; catcher Carlos Ruiz held the ball briefly and said something to Cederstrom; Ruiz then turned his head while still in his crouch and continued the conversation; Ruiz was ejected by Cederstrom
