Notes & reviews

An easy pop out was wind-blown into a single where no one was waiting to catch it
Ball Oquendo hit on hand on CS play and he had to leave the game
Davis caught past 3B when P Lynch faked throw to first
Durham thought there were two out, ran on contact, and could not get back to first in time
