Notes & reviews
- Lucky single when ball got away from Robertson
- Caught near the grandstand
- Spectacular catch
- Spectacular running catch; Williams advanced when Cobb's return throw got away from Rigney. Box scores credited Cobb with an assist today; guessing here.
- Jacobson was ruled to have trapped Cobb's low liner. The Browns protested claiming it was a clean catch, but they were overruled by the umpires.
- Unsure of scoring; box scores imply: 53.3-3;1-2
- Infield popup fell between Holloway and Jones
- Neat pickup
- The ball got away from Williams
- The ball seemed to be foul; the Browns protested but Ump Ormsby refused to change his decision.
- Bennett's ML debut
- Thurston's ML debut
