Notes & reviews
- Mets manager Rojas ejected by HP umpire Riggs for arguing that Newman's dribbler was foul. Pitcher Walker swatted the ball away when he thought it was foul, the ball rolling toward the Pirates dugout. When the Mets learned that it was ruled a fair ball, they argued with the umpire rather than retrieve the ball, allowing all three runners to score.
