Notes & reviews

  • Catchable, but the sun and fence made the play tougher for Moreland.
  • Moreland short-hopped it
  • Brown missed cutting it off; Clark couldn't scoop Uribe's low throw in the dirt.
  • Brown: diving stop
  • Brown: charging, barehanded off-balance play
  • Mason charged and underhanded it to Davis
  • Off Mason's glove
  • Eckersley left game with hamstring tightness
  • Francona scooped Dunston's low throw in the dirt
  • Illegal move to 1B on a 2nd pickoff attempt
  • Under Uribe's glove
  • Uribe's wide throw to 2B was knocked down by Francona who recovered to throw out Dunston at the plate.
