Notes & reviews
- no play for Atkins on the slow roller up the line
- broken bat grounder; the bat barrell went through Fogg's legs
- Ramirez appeared to slide around the diving Torrealba but the catcher grazed Ramirez' hip with the glove; Ramirez only touched the plate after the tag
- Matsuzaka's first major league hit and RBI
