Notes & reviews

the ball got by Eddie Rosario and rolled to the wall; Jaff Decker scored on the error and Andrew McCutchen advanced to 3B; the throw in got by 3B Eduardo Nunez and bounced out of play; McCutcheon started to run down the 3B line but collided with Nunez, who was called for obstruction; the run scored on the missed catch error by Nunez not the obstruction since the ball went out of play
