Notes & reviews

Butch Hobson dove for the ball and attempted to tag Don Baylor; 3B umpire Jim McNally ruled Baylor safe but 2B umpire John Shulock ran to 3B and overruled McNally; Shulock ruled that Baylor had left the baseline in trying to avoid Hobson's tag; Angels Manager Jim Fregosi ejected by Shulock
