Notes & reviews

there were problems with the retractable roof; one panel remained in place, leaving shadows over the infield; both home plate and the mound were in the shade for the first three innings; the mound was in the sun by the fourth, creating a very difficult contrast for hitters
Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre left the game due to an injured leg
