Notes & reviews

Protest=H 56 minute rain delay before start of game
the ground ball struck Toby Harrah; 2B umpire Ron Luciano called Harrah out and then called batter Jeff Burroughs out, returning the other two runners to their original bases; Luciano ruled that Harrah intentionally let the ball strike him to prevent a double play; Burroughs ejected by 1B umpire Jerry Neudecker; Rangers manager Billy Martin protested the game
