Notes & reviews

Attempted double steal
Critz threw wild past 1B; NYT claimed he hit Johnston in the back of the head.
Wheat angrily flung his bat away; rare show of emotion
Roush dropped the fly and threw to 2B late but relay to 3B nailed Wheat. Freak play; Roush not charged with E8.
30-minute RAIN DELAY
BOUNCE HR; a hit to RF that bounced into bleachers
Portsmouth DT coverage started here, and only for CIN ABs:
Brilliant rolling catch
Brown fumbled; Stock's perfect relay might have beaten Roush, but he rode in spikes high and knocked the ball out of Taylor's hands.
