Notes & reviews

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels admitted after the game that he intentionally threw at Bryce Harper
when Cole Hamels threw lazily to 1B, Bryce Harper broke for the plate and scored under the throw from 1B
both teams warned by HP umpire Andy Fletcher
Jayson Werth dove for Placido Polanco's sinking liner; his left hand twisted under and he left the game with a broken wrist; surgery next day with metal plate inserted; estimated 12 week absence
