Notes & reviews

Line drive caromed off Ump Connolly's leg
Herzog overslid 2B
Snodgrass was hit by the first pitch but Ump Brennan would not allow him to take 1B, claiming he leaned into it.
Snodgrass tried to advance on a short passed ball. His slide spiked Baker who retreated to the bench for repairs.
Debut game for Beals Becker
