Notes & reviews

Weather: clear, hot, and humid
Herman aggravated a muscle pull in his left side sustained in batting practice.
Gordon: leaping catch
DiMaggio: running over-the-shoulder catch
Sturm scooped low throw
Line drive caromed off Fitzsimmons left leg to Reese. Fitzsimmons was helped from the field.
