Notes & reviews

Vida Blue picked up Mike Andrews' bunt along the 3B line, thinking he had a fair ball; HP umpire Russ Goetz ruled that Blue was in foul territory and that he picked it up foul; White Sox Manager Chuck Tanner also thought it was fair and argued the call, since Andrews would have beat the throw to 1B; Tanner picked up Gene Tenace's catcher's mask and threw it towards the visiting dugout; Tanner ejected by Goetz
Debut game for Pat Jacquez
