Astros' Matsui called out after lineup card error

HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston's Kaz Matsui was out without batting in the first inning of the Astros' game with Milwaukee on Wednesday night after the team presented an incorrect lineup card to umpire Eric Cooper.

The official batting order submitted by the Astros before the game had Matsui batting first, but Michael Bourn led off instead. Manager Cecil Cooper said before the game that Bourn would lead off and Matsui would bat second, a flip-flop from Tuesday's order.

Bourn singled to right off Yovani Gallardo, but the hit was nullified when Brewers manager Ken Macha showed the umpires the mistake.

Matsui was called out while he was still in the on-deck circle and Bourn batted again, drawing a walk. Lance Berkman doubled to right-center to drive in Bourn and give Houston a 1-0 lead.

On Sunday, a mistake on the Tampa Bay Rays' official lineup card forced starting pitcher Andy Sonnanstine to bat in place of Evan Longoria. The lineup card listed two third basemen -- Longoria and Ben Zobrist, but manager Joe Maddon intended Longoria to be the designated hitter and hit third.
