Notes & reviews

Frank Torre stood at 2B after the catch and made no attempt to go to 3B; Richie Ashburn threw to 3B and the throw surprised Willie Jones; the ball went into the Phillies dugout
Bill Bruton pulled muscle in right thigh on catch in 5th
Jack Meyer was attempting to intentionally walk Wes Covington but Covington reached out and hit the ball weakly to Meyer
