Notes & reviews

after 4 throws to 1B by Lary Sorensen, Mookie Wilson faked a steal on the first pitch; he only went 3 steps but Darrell Porter made the throw; Porter was the only one faked out and no one covered 2B; Wilson advanced to 2B after the ball sailed in CF
Mookie Wilson called for interference with Mike Ramsey by 2B umpire Joe West
Debut game for Mike Howard
the ball hit Bob Bailor on the chest
Debut game for Brian Giles
