Notes & reviews

Cardinals Javier ejected by unknown umpire sometime in game for unknown reason
Giants thought Cepeda had struck out and catcher threw ball to 3rd in the normal routine; however HP umpire Weyer had called the pitch ball 4 and Cepeda ran to 1st; The Giants continued to argue the pitch and Cepeda tried for 2nd, but was thrown out, charged with caught stealing
