Notes & reviews

Check swing looper
Martinez deflected it
Dauer: diving backhanded stop
Slapped past Gross who was playing in, wary of a bunt
Murray, who had charged up the line, was in the way of Dempsey's throw to 1B so he instinctively caught it. His throw to 1B almost hit Butler and got away from Sakata.
Over LF fence
Hargrove: nice play
Off Snell's glove
Butler had to make a last-second dive for it after he and Hall crossed signals.
