Notes & reviews

Galan was struck by thrown ball on side of his head during BP and spent game in clubhouse with ice packs.
CS when on attempted to bunt Root missed pitchout.
UR 2-h
As Hack went to dugout he was ejected by Magerkurth who swears Hack cursed him as a continuation of argument of third strike called in his last AB. Hartnett rushed out to object. Gabby finished and started to return to dugout, Gabby reversed his course and started in again including waving his hands in Magerkurth's face. Hartnett was ejected by Magerkurth but argued for additional 95 seconds.
