Notes & reviews

White Sox manager Dykes and the entire White Sox bench argued that Cronin should have been called out on strikes when Umpire Kolls called a ball on a close pitch. Two pitches later Cronin hit a home run over the left field wall. The White Sox bench was incensed. Jackie Hayes, not in game, was ejected by Umpire Kolls from the White Sox bench.
