Notes & reviews

Brooks' ML debut
Speared low liner with 1-hand
Caromed off Freigau's glove to McAuley
Fast play
Came in fast
CDT claimed McAuley would've had a play at 3B
CDN: Kaufmann loafed on the way to 1B
Freigau fell over the low fence while making a nice catch, but couldn't get back up in time to throw out Smith.
