Notes & reviews

the first pitch to Brett Butler was behind him; both teams were warned by HP umpire Tim Tschida; the second pitch was over Butler's head to the backstop; Butler charged the mound and both benches cleared; Butler and pitcher Danny Jackson were ejected by Tschida; the Indians protested the game because Royals manager Billy Gardner was not ejected
