Notes & reviews

Red Sox manager Williams ejected by 2B umpire Ashford for arguing that Buford was out trying to advance
Acting BOS manager Darrell Johnson meant to sub Russ Gibson at C but mistakenly gave the HP umpire Russ Nixon's name instead; Johnson corrected his mistake and Nixon never left the bullpen.
