Notes & reviews

Vern Law struck on the left side of the head after squaring to $bunt; eventually, he left the field under his own power
Bill Mazeroski dove and just missed catching Don Mueller's soft line drive; Danny O'Connell retreated to 1B and when Mazeroski threw the ball there, Frank Thomas stepped on the bag; however, Mueller had already beat the play to 1B; O'Connell ran to 2B and Thomas threw wildly
