Notes & reviews
- Davey Lopes hit the 3-0 pitch for a home run; the Reds were not happy that he did so with a big lead
- Davey Lopes walked on 4 inside pitches; then pitcher Dave Tomlin threw a brushback at Ted Martinez; both benchs emptied and a brawl ensued; Derrell Thomas and Rick Auerbach ejected by HP umpire John McSherry
