Notes & reviews

Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis left the game due to an injured leg
a pitch to Yoenis Cespedes was inside; Cespedes started to swing but stopped and the bat flew out of his hands as the ballnearly struck his hands; the bat went through the strike zone and landed on the grass in front of HP; HP Umpire Ted Barrett requested a check on the swing; 1B Umpire Will Little ruled no swong; Phillies Manager Pete Mackanin ejected by Little
