Notes & reviews

Debut for umpires Tony Gisondi, Scott Graham and Mike Holoka, 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 New York in time to work the game
fan interference
