Protest=V Protest=H
Ernie Oravetz appeared to catch Jack Phillips' fly ball at the wall; Oravetz threw to 1B and Roy Sievers stepped on the bag for an apparent double play since Harvey Kuenn had run to 3B; 3B umpire John Rice ruled the ball hit the screen before Oravetz caught it; Senators manager Chuck Dressen ran onto the field arguing with Rice; Dressen protested the game; Sievers tagged Phillips, who was ruled out for not being on the bag; Tigers manager Bucky Harris protested the game
game called for rain; to be replayed
