Masataka Yoshida had already been the Boston Red Sox's hero in the Wild Card series, and he entered Game 2 looking to do it again.
With Jarren Duran and Nate Eaton on first and second base, respectively, in the seventh inning, Yoshida took the plate against Fernando Cruz with two outs. Yoshida knocked a ground ball to the middle infield and Jazz Chisholm Jr. dove to save it before it hit grass. Chisholm tossed the ball to Ben Rice at first base, who botched the out.
The ball was on the ground as Yoshida dove into first base.
