Notes & reviews

Rick Ankiel's last warm-up throw went to the backstop; during Mike Bordick's at bat the crowd chanted 'wild pitch' to Ankiel
Jay Payton struck on right temple, requiring three stitches; Payton started towards mound but was stopped by Eli Marrero; benches cleared with lots of pushing
