Notes & reviews
- Dodgers manager Lasorda ejected by HP umpire Gregg; Forsch bunted a ball in the air that was caught by catcher who threw to 1B for an apparent double play; Gregg ruled that the ball struck the ground before the catch; when Cesar Cedeno doubled; Lasorda ran out to argue and bumped Gregg
- Cabell and pitcher Brett ejected by HP umpire Gregg for fighting after Brett hit Cabell who then charged mound; benches cleared
