Notes & reviews

replay,3,hollm001,SLN,coope901,PIT08,O,N,I,,H $Matt Holliday's fly to RF struck the metal railing with the yellow stripe at the top of the wall and caromed back onto the field; Holliday thought it was a home run and stopped running; the ball was ruled in play; acting crew chief Eric Cooper watched the replay and upheld the call
