Notes & reviews

Total attendance 10,000 but half kids as guests of Yankees.
HP ump called foul but 3B ump called fair. Gordon stood at plate arguing with HP ump while 3B coach Fletcher was yelling at 3B ump. Manager Vitt and the Cleveland team rushed from their dugout. 3B ump again signaled fair and Gordon circled bases while Vitt and Allen argued with 3B ump.
Weatherly ejected from bench by Kolls for what he said.
Gallagher ejected by Kolls for arguing strike call. Not clear if ejection was now or after inning ended. P-b-p leans later.
