Notes & reviews
- Indians Coach Larry Doby ejected by 1B umpire Dave Phillips arguing that Hal McRae interfered with Dave Duncan's throw to 3B after McRae was tagged out at HP; Indians Manager Ken Aspromonte ejected by HP umpire Jim Odom for continuing the argument
- George Brett fouled ball off his foot; Dave Duncan threw to 1B; HP umpire Jim Odom called Brett out then ejected him; then the umpires reversed call at 1B and ruled it a foul ball; ejection stood
- 370' HR
