Notes & reviews

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez started across the plate after the last pitch but since Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez was attempting to throw out Mark Teixeira at second base on a steal attempt and Rodriguez got in the way, interference was called on ARod and Teixeira was called out
Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez fielded the dribbler about 10 feet up the first base line; he dove back to the plate and tagged it before Yankees runner Derek Jeter could score
the ball bounced off the top of the wall and into the seats
