Notes & reviews

replay,8,avila001,DET,tscht901,BOS07,O,N,I,,H $Alex Avila's fly ball hit on the CF wall near the vertical yellow stripe and was ruled in play; it hit just below the stripe at the very top of the wall where it joins the LF Green Monster and therefore not a home run; crew chief Tim Tschida watched the replay and upheld the call
