Notes & reviews

Amos Otis yelled at Ken Brett because Brett intended to intentionally walk Otis; Brett went into windup with men on base and threw the ball over Otis' head to the backstop; Brett ran to HP, shouldering Cookie Rojas, who was running from 3B, and went after Otis; both benches cleared but only a few punches were thrown; Brett ejected by HP umpire Mike Reilly
