Notes & reviews

replay,1,rizza001,CHN,gormb901,PIT08,I,N,U,,H $Anthony Rizzo's fly to RF was touched by a fan and ruled a home run; crew chief Brian Gorman requested a review, which upheld the call by replay as no fan interference
replay,4,heywj001,CHN,gormb901,PIT08,,Y,M,PIT,C $when Jason Heyward was called safe at 1B, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle challenged the ruling; the call was overturned by replay
when Ben Zobrist moved to hold the runner on 1B while Anthony Rizzo moved in to cover a bunt, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle objected to Rizzo wearing his first baseman's mitt; the umpires told Rizzo to change gloves, which he did for the one play; this required a position change for Rizzo by rule
John Jaso hit for the cycle
