Notes & reviews
- Runner on 2nd Edgardo Alfonzo held thinking the ball might be caught and only advanced to 3rd
- Cardinals coach Dave Duncan went to the mound and waited for HP umpire Dale Scott to approach the mound; Duncan talked to Scott about ball four; Duncan was ejected by 2B umpire Steve Rippley after argument; Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa also argued with Rippley
