Notes & reviews

  • Ball bounced off the wall right to Gross and Moreland had no chance to be safe at 2nd
  • Davis' throw bounced over Bowa's head but Sandberg backed up and prevented Samuel from advancing to third
  • Matthews bunted in the air and Holland stumbled on the mound, trying to catch it
  • Phillies moved Hayes in from LF to have five infielders, CF played in 78 and RF played in 89
