Notes & reviews

Daryl Spencer had the ball Frank Robinson arrived at 2B; 2B umpire Bill Baker had trailed Spencer towards 3B, so no umpire was in position to make the call at 2B
hit above left ear; suffered a concussion; removed on a stretcher and taken to a hospital for X-rays
Giants Sauer, not in game, ejected by HP umpire Secory sometime in 8th inning for bench jockeying
