Notes & reviews
- the third strike to Alexei Ramirez was in the dirt, possibly striking the edge of home plate; it bounced off Jason Varitek's shin guard and went all the way to the backstop
- Quentin's popup was right behind the mound and not high enough for an infielder to catch; Okajima tried to catch it facing towards second base but dropped it
- the return throw from catcher Victor Martinez to pitcher Hideki Okajima was wild and went into center field, allowing Carlos Quentin to advance
