Notes & reviews

Indians manager Dykes and player Temple, not in game, ejected by HP umpire Napp for arguing ball called on Bruton on check swing
DIFF: de la Hoz not credited with this run in official totals
the ball caromed off the top of the RF fence into Al Kaline's glove; Kaline threw to 2B to force Vic Power who failed to run on the play because he thought it was a home run
