Notes & reviews

replay,7,middw001,BOS,demud901,BOS07,I,N,I,,H $Will Middlebrooks hit a fly ball to the first row of Monster seats in LF; a few fans leaned over the tabletop in front of them and one caught the ball while extended out; the ball was ruled a home run but the Rangers thought it was fan interference; crew chief Dana DeMuth watched the replay and upheld the call
1B umpire Paul Nauert ruled a swing for strike three; Dustin Pedroia yelled at Nauert as he returned to the bench and continued to yell; Nauert warned Pedroia to stop
Dustin Pedrioa returned to the field quietly
after David Murphy was hit by a pitch, Dustin Pedroia looked at 1B umpire Paul Nauert and made a swinging motion; Pedroia ejected by Nauert
