Notes & reviews

Ellis Valentine was calling 1B umpire Steve Fields names while standing at the bag; Valentine was mad at the out call from the pick off of Rodney Scott earlier in the inning
Ellis Valentine ejected by 1B umpire Steve Fields for throwing his helmet towards Fields after being put out at 2B; Valentine then ran over to continue his tirade and bumped the umpire multiple times
