Notes & reviews

30 minute rain delay
Richie Ashburn missed HP as the throw went over Wes Westrum's head; as Ashburn returned to HP, Westrum blocked him while Hoyt Wilhelm retrieved the ball; Westrum tagged Ashburn and HP umpire Vic Delmore called Ashburn out; the Phillies argued and the umpires huddled; the call was reversed because Westrum had obstructed Ashburn; Giants Manager Bill Rigney ejected by 3B umpire Bill Jackowski; Rigney was restrained from going after the umpire
