Overturned call gives Red Sox their 1st run

Home-plate umpire Dan Bellino waved off the run, but the Red Sox challenged the call, and the ruling was overturned after replay showed that Moreland had touched home just before Alex Bregman applied the tag on Pedroia at third. The reversal allowed the run to score, cutting the Astros' lead to 2-1.

To give you a sense of just how close this play was, Statcast™ -- which tracks baserunner speed from the crack of the bat until they touch the base -- had Moreland's time from second base to home at 7.13 seconds, while Pedroia was tracked at 7.
