Notes & reviews

Paul Blair called out on strikes but Alan Ashby dropped the ball; HP umpire Red Flaherty did not see the drop; Blair ran to 1B and Orioles manager Earl Weaver asked all the umpires about the dropped third strike; Weaver ejected by 1B umpire Bill Deegan; Deegan then overruled Flaherty, reversing the call; Indians Manager Ken Aspromonte argued with and bumped Deegan, who ejected Aspromonte
