Notes & reviews

replay,5,lonej001,NYN,wintm901,STL10,,N,M,SLN,A $when Yoenis Cespedes was called safe at 3B, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny challenged the ruling; Adam Wainwright's glove seemed to be in place to tag Cespedes but came off Wainwright's hand; the call was upheld by replay
Mets pitcher Seth Lugo left the game due to an injured leg
a fan reached over the wall in RF foul territory and touched the ball for interference
