Notes & reviews

Russ Meyer waved his hand in disgust at the call at 1B and was ejected by 1B umpire Al Barlick; as Meyer left the field, he tossed the ball and it struck Barlick on the leg; Meyer then ran to Barlick and bumped the arbiter; Phillies manager Eddie Sawyer took Meyer off the field
Debut game for Bubba Church
