Notes & reviews

pbp account ends here, rest deduced
Garbark grounded to first, but Buzas held at third as Savage ran to third; Metkovich tried to tag Garbark but missed him for an error and Buzas broke for the plate; Metkovich threw home wildly for a second error and both runners scored
Third error in inning by Metkovich set new AL record and tied NL record for most errors in an inning
