  • Yerkes deflected it
  • To the flagpole
  • Hustle double
  • Ball hit Cochrane's bat as he tried to avoid inside pitch
  • Dykes: nice running 1-handed pickup near 2B
  • Into LF bleachers
  • Hit in the shoulder
  • Judge threw wild to Braxton
  • Too hot for Myer
  • During Judge AB, the wind carried a foul pop away from Foxx
  • Hot drive off Foxx's glove
