Notes & reviews

Nifty pickup
Fine running catch
Grove knocked it down; Bishop hustled in, scooped it up, and threw out Goose by a step; neat play.
Deflected by Grove
Spectacular diving catch
Hale ran behind 3B, got the hot smash with his bare hand, skidded in the mud, but recovered with a fast, accurate throw. His hand was bruised; took a few minutes before resuming play.
Running catch near the scoreboard
Landed on the line
Reached out for a wide one and drove it into RF
High into upper LF stands
1-handed stop
Pretty catch
Miller overran 3B by 3 steps and slipped in the mud as he turned back to the bag. PDL reported he would've been out even without the slip.
