NOTES
Reggie Sanders batted cleanup for Arizona in Games 1 and 2. Danny Bautista hit fourth in Game 3. Greg Colbrunn had the honors in Game 4. And Finley batted fourth in Game 5.
Is that the first time a team has used four different cleanup hitters in a five-game series?
“I don’t know,†Brenly said. “We’ve tried to stack a lineup where we put our best on-base percentage guys ahead of our hottest hitter. Right now Steve Finley is our hottest hitter.â€

The temperature outside was 91 degrees when the game started, so the Bank One Ballpark roof was closed for the game .... Against Schilling in the series, Mark McGwire was 0 for 6 with five strikeouts .... Matt Morris gave up only 13 home runs in 2161/3 innings in the regular season. Sanders’ home run off Morris was the seventh to land in the Friday’s Front Row restaurant eating area.
