Notes & reviews

Reggie Smith's fly ball was touched by a fan over the top of the CF wall; the ball caromed back onto the field and was ruled in play by 2B umpire Jim Evans; Smith ran the circuit for an inside the park home run; the Brewers protested that a fan touched the ball and Evans reversed his call to fan interference instead of home run; HP umpire Dave Phillips ruled that Smith had to stop at 2B; Red Sox Manager Eddie Kasko ejected by 1B umpire Nestor Chylak
