Notes & reviews

Debut for umpires Ed Murray and Gus Klein, who worked because the staff umpires were not working due to contract negotiations which stalled during spring training; the contract was settled but the assigned umpires could not get to Kansas City in time to work the game; former AL umpire Dallas Parks worked at 2B
