Notes & reviews

Gary Carter asked HP Umpire Bill Williams to check the baseball; Williams checked the ball and Rick Rhoden's glove and gave Rhoden a warning about throwing a doctored ball
Rick Rhoden exchanged words with Mets 1B coach Bill Robinson; Robinson lunged at Rhoden, pushing him; both benches cleared and a brawl ensued; Robinson ejected by HP umpire Bill Williams
