Notes & reviews
- Reds catcher Brayan Pena left the game due to an injured leg
- Joey Votto and Reds manager Bryan Price ejected after the third pitch was called a strike by HP umpire Bill Welke; Votto bumped Welke and it took multiple coaches and one umpire to get Votto away from Welke and off the field
