Notes & reviews

Wilson and Cubs manager McCarthy ejected by HP umpire Quigley for arguing called third strike
Thevenow broke his ankle sliding into second base. The force of Thevenow's slide into 2B pulled him off the bag, allowing him to be doubled up on what should have been a successful sacrifice by Rhem
