Notes & reviews

Dodgers challenged call that Bryant was safe at first; call was overturned - out; throw to first was wild and retrieve by first baseman; Bryant had taken a step toward second and then dove back to first as first baseman did the same, tagging him for the out; since there was an intervening misplay, this was not a double play
