Notes & reviews

Lowell dove to his right and the ball hit his glove and rolled into foul territory; Taveras ran from 1B to 3B; Schilling and Lugo were late getting to the bag; Lowell's throw glanced off Lugo's glove into the center of the infield
Lugo out for interference for running into his own bunt
