Notes & reviews

Protest=V
Roy McMillan claimed he had been hit by a pitch but HP umpire Mel Steiner ruled it a foul ball; Steiner then changed his mind when McMillan showed the arbiter a bruise on his right hand where the ball struck it; Cardinals manager Johnny Keane argued about the call reversal and played the game under protest
Braves coach Walker ejected by 1B umpire Donatelli for arguing that Torre was safe at 1st
