Notes & reviews

Matt Holliday threw his body at Marco Scutaro at 2B; Holliday did not seem to touch the ground until after he passed the bag; he hit Scutaro on the lower legs with his body; Scutaro was hurt but stayed in the game
Marco Scutaro delivered the game-deciding hit after being hurt in the first inning by Matt Holliday; Holliday misplayed the ball in LF, allowing a third run to score
Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro left the game due to an injured leg
John Jay made a diving catch in RCF; Gregor Blanco had rounded 2B and had to retouch on the way back to 1B; the throw in from Jay was wide of the bag; Allen Craig lunged at Blanco and seemed to tag him; Blanco was called safe by 1B umpire Bill Miller; the Cardinals disputed the ruling; the umpires briefly huddled but did not change the call
