Notes & reviews

Ken Heintzelman struck on the jaw by a line drive; he was carried off the field
Giants manager Mel Ott argued that Jimmy Brown caused the interference; HP umpire George Magerkurth talked with 1B umpire Tom Dunn but allowed the interference to stand; Ott ejected by Magerkurth; when the Giants persisted in yelling, Magerkurth cleared the bench
