Notes & reviews

Hernandez scooped Backman's low relay in the dirt
Thompson backed up Russell's high throw into CF
Jeltz: backhanded stop
The diving Santana was playing toward the hole
Samuel: diving backhanded catch
Through Johnson
Bad hop past Magadan
Jeltz: running catch near the stands
Samuel: good range; his whirling off-balance throw was in time but a little wide. It went off Hayes' glove as he reached for it backhanded.
Johnson: diving stop
