Notes & reviews

hard hit ball bounced off Yastrzemski's glove and into foul territory
Baltimore chop handled by Palmer who tagged Yastrzemski and looked Doyle back to 3rd
A Fenway Park single--off the wall above the scoreboard
Duncan seemed to think Palmer was going to get it but didn't pick it up cleanly anyway but not so poorly as to warrant an error
Lynn and Burleson bumped and missed the catch, Petrocelli came over to take Lynn's throw
