Notes & reviews

Yankee Johnny Keane ejected by HP umpire Haller during during Oliva's at-bat when it was ruled that a little tapper he hit was off his body and therefore foul
The Twins only had two fielding assists in the entire game: a K23 on the leadoff hitter and a 5-3 in the 9th. The remaining 25 outs were unassisted putouts or K's!
