Notes & reviews

On grounder to 2nd, Youkilis stopped halfway, got into rundown, then returned safely to 1st when no one covered
the ball hit the heel of Rios' glove and bounced downward; Rios swatted at the ball with his right hand and knocked it into stands for homer; Cora's first homer in more than a year
