Notes & reviews

Bobby Adams was picked off 1B and Fred Marsh attempted to score
Marsh swung at the first pitch of an attempted intentional walk; Gardner made belated try for home but 2bman Richardson fielded weak grounder and tagged Gardner returning to 3rd after a one-man rundown
Bobby Adams ran into Yogi Berra; Orioles Manager Paul Richards argued that Berra blocked HP without the ball and was ejected by HP umpire Frank Umont
