Notes & reviews

Burgess ejected by Ump Burkhart for arguing call at home
Coleman dropped third strike and rolled ball to mound as though he had caught it; Mets started off field. Neal picked up ball and threw to Fernandez who was closest to first, tagging Stargell who started to run after encouragement from his teammates.
