Notes & reviews

Dodgers Manager Walter Alston argued with HP umpire Jerry Dale about the call at HP; Dale was blocked on the tag and Alston wanted Dale to talk with 1B umpire Augie Donatelli; Alston ejected by Dale
dust blew into Willie Davis' eyes; he stepped out and asked for time; the pitch was called strike three
