Notes & reviews

Protest=V
Vada Pinson tried to score from 2B on a wild pitch; Stan Bahnsen tagged Pinson high as they collided at HP; Pinson struck Bahnsen on the face with a left hook, knocking the pitcher to the ground; Bahnsen threw the ball at Pinson and both benches emptied; Pinson ejected by HP umpire Ron Luciano; Indians manager Al Dark protested the game because Bahnsen was not ejected
a firecracker was thrown onto the field; it exploded at the feet of catcher Ray Fosse; it seared through his shoe and burned his right instep; the trainer applied a salve to Fosse's foot
