Doug Eddings, the umpire in question, called a trapped ball—shown to be a bonehead call by every replay. Of course, the next batter (an o for his last 9 Elvis Andrus), singled past a range-impaired Marco Scutaro to plate the illegitimate run.
Later, Erik Bedard made one additional mistake (a high fastball to Mike Napoli) which ended in a three-run HR—4-0 Rangers. Game over—since the Red Sox mustered just 4 singles. So, Boston is 0-4 against their likely first round opponents in the post-season—if they make it there.
