Notes & reviews

Vida Blue thought he had struck out Mike Hershberger on the 2-2 pitch; when he walked Hershberger, Blue glared at HP umpire Dave Phillips; Athletics Manager Dick Williams went to the mound and waited for Phillips to come out; Williams talked to Phillips for a while before returning to the dugout
Walt Williams popup was not called as an infield fly; Athletics manager Dick Williams argued with and was ejected by HP umpire Dave Phillips
