Notes & reviews
- Gino Cimoli brushed back on the 0-2 pitch by Don Cardwell; they exchanged words and Cimoli ran towards the mound; Cardwell met him halfway and they exchanged punches; both benches cleared; no ejections; Cardwell threw one more pitch and left with an injured right shoulder and thumb from the fight
