Notes & reviews

suspended game of 7/17 was completed before this game; same pitchers who finished suspended game started this game
Stan Musial did not appear in the completion of the suspended game because of a hand injury; Musial only played long enough in this game (one inning in the field) to keep his consecutive games streak alive
Groat made wild throw to 2B allowing Haddix to score from 1st
Haddix slipped fielding bunt and Groat beat the throw to 2B
