The Red Sox had a rather forgettable night at Yankee Stadium during Wednesday’s 8-0 loss – with the exception of one play.

There was some question about whether the fan touched the ball – he did – but MLB.com reports the Yankees weren’t granted a replay review because manager Joe Girardi didn’t request one within the allotted 30 seconds. Where’s Jeffrey Maier when you need him?
Fan interference or not, Betts said the ball was his all the way.
