Notes & reviews

Kranepool faked Aspromonte on cutoff, made play $at second possible. Detailed picture in NY Times
xPO may have occurred with Lillis or Bateman at bat.
xAssuming that the E2 occurred here.
xThree scoresheets show this as GDP by 3 unassisted
Raymond rounded third too far. Scored as DP, $but not GDP
off screen on foul pole
