Notes & reviews

  • First game at Target Field, Minneapolis
  • replay,5,camem001,BOS,tscht901,MIN04,F,N,I,,H $Mike Cameron hit a fly ball down the LF line that went between the pole and the limestone facing of the stands; it was ruled a foul ball by 3B umpire Kerwin Danley; Red Sox manager Terry Francona asked about the ruling, so crew chief Tim Tschida looked at the replay and upheld the call; the gap between the pole and the wall is very narrow; first replay in the fifth inning of the first game in the park
