Notes & reviews

McDonald and Clayton did not realize that McDonald was in the lineup as the starting shortstop. When Clayton took the field, he became an unannounced sub and McDonald was not available for the rest of the game. Toronto bench coach Ernie Whitt was demoted to first base coach over this incident.
