Notes & reviews

Originally scheduled as 1st game of doubleheader. It was sprinkling as the teams took the field.
Sensational diving catch
Through Robertson
Gerber fouled off 6 pitches this AB
Walter was given a great round of applause as he came to bat
Rain began to fall as Goslin stepped to the plate
Time was called as the Browns came to bat in the 8th. After a half hour, Ump Nallin called the game on account of rain. 2nd game of scheduled doubleheader was postponed.
