Notes & reviews
- Protest=H
- the Angels claimed the pine tar on John Mayberry's bat was too far up the handle; the umpires did not penalize Mayberry; the Angels protested the game, but that was denied by AL President Lee MacPhail, who said that the pine tar did not give a batter a competitive edge and that the rule was to prevent ball discoloration
- Debut game for George Throop
