Notes & reviews

Jim Kaat came to bat with the bases loaded and hit into a 6-4 force play at second. But, nobody else advanced! Both scoresheets agree that Bob Allison and Earl Battey (the runners on second and third) scored on the next batter's single to center. So, neither one of them advanced on Kaat's grounder. Strange! DWS: check if possible
Jimmie Hall fouled a pitch off his right ankle before striking out and had to leave the game.
