Notes & reviews

Tigers coach Brown ejected by 1B umpire Kaiser for arguing fan had interfered and Rivers should not have been allowed to score; RF Stanley was in position to catch fly at low wall when fan apparently reached out and deflected ball; Stanley did not go after ball but ran to argue with Kaiser as Rivers circled bases; Brown argued strenuously and was ejected
