Notes & reviews
- Mike Hampton left with injured arm
- Astros manager Phil Garner told HP umpire Phil Cuzzi that the dugout phone to the bullpen was not working; a player was sent to check the status of the pitchers warming up; Garner returned to the bench and then returned to the field to remove Roy Oswalt; Braves manager Bobby Cox protested the game, since he claimed this was Garner's second trip to the mound during the same batter's time at bat
