Notes & reviews

Texas Leaguer
Low liner
Hard smash
During the AB, Ott's bat slipped from his hands while swinging and landed near the pitcher's mound. Grimes picked it up, dusted the handle with the resin bag, and handed it back. Grimes then proceeded to strike Ott out.
Into RF stands
Off a wall
Past SS
Roush: running catch
Ott (presumably) made a spectacular, 1-handed diving catch and threw to 1B while on the ground to double the runner off 1B.
Pirates manager Bush ejected by 3B umpire Magerkurth for arguing Lloyd Waner was safe at third
