Notes & reviews

Unfavorable baseball weather; very windy
Great try by Harris
Infield single off Mogridge's glove
Good catch of wind-blown fly
Great catch after a long run
Wind-aided
Great stop by Harris and good scoop by Judge
Fine stop
Lucky 1-handed catch near grandstand
Speece's ML debut
Nats claimed Meusel had fanned, declaring Rowland had miscounted on strikes, but got nowhere with their argument.
