Notes & reviews
- Failed hit & run
- When Williams came to bat, the Washington players questioned his right to use the plugged bat which he recovered yesterday from the Washington rack; the protest was overruled by Umpire Evans
- Bluege pulled a tendon on his way to 1B
- HP umpire Evans warned the Browns bench to discontinue their criticism of his work behind the plate; the crowd gave vent to its displeasure with yells of derision.
- Browns manager Austin ejected by HP umpire Evans for bench jockeying; Evans had gone again to Browns dugout to warn the players; when he returned to field, he was followed by Williams who argued with him for several moments; Evans banished all the reserves, save 3 subs, to bullpen
- Fast play
- This event and the next actually occurred on the same play and should be combined/scored as: 3E1.BX2(36)
- This event is a continuation of the previous. When Mitchell dropped Judge's throw, Williams tried to advance to 2B, but Judge recovered and threw him out for a rare 2nd assist.
