Notes & reviews

Cubs challenged call that Rizzo was picked off 1st after 10th pitch to La Stella; call was overturned - pickoff attempt, no out
Cubs challenged call that Hoskins caught ball to start triple play; they claimed he had caught it and then dropped it; call was upheld - batter out because fielder had caught ball and was transferring to throwing hand when he dropped it, so triple play
