Notes & reviews

Major League debut for Ducky Detweiler
Umpire Reardon called Holmes out for bumping into Fletcher; Braves' manager Stengel argued that Holmes had not bumped Fletcher until he made his wild throw to home; Umpire Goetz reversed the call and called everyone safe; The Pirates argued and Lopez was ejected from the bench by Reardon
