Notes & reviews

Odom threw to Bando but he was off-balance and the throw was not in time
Aparicio and Melton both ran for the slow grounder and collided, allowing the ball through
Green bunted to pitcher and the ball bounced off Peters' hand
Monday bunted down 3rd base line and Peters threw wild to first with no chance to get Monday
