Notes & reviews

Pitcher Slayback, Athletics Mangual and Tigers Brown ejected for fighting by HP umpire Odom after pitch was thrown behind Mangual to the backstop; Slayback ran to cover HP, but Mangual thought Slayback was charging him and ran out to meet Slayback between the mound and HP; they fought and and both benches cleared; a 10-minute brawl ensued; Athletics coach Irv Noren left with a cut eye and was replaced at 3B by manager Williams
