Notes & reviews

Ruhle had ripped open a two-stitch wound on the tip of the index finger of his pitching hand, suffered when he snagged the finger on a protruding nail in the Astros' dugout the night before as he reached for a towel.
Thomas' head-first slide beat the throw but Morgan blocked the bag with his knee.
Valenzuela had him picked off but Puhl beat Garvey's throw
Into LCF bleachers at the 385' mark
Johnstone: tumbling catch in the stands
Johnstone just missed diving catch
