Notes & reviews
- Perfect hit & run; grounded through the spot just vacated by Bishop.
- Judge ran back almost to the bullpen for a 1-handed catch
- Goslin: good hustle
- Bishop: great stop and peg
- West misjudged it -- he started in but it sailed over him
- Into upper deck, LF
- Goslin and West collided; both went down in a heap
- Hale deflected it
- Rice lost it in the sun
- Through Foxx
