In first game of doubleheader, Red Sox manager Alex Cora ejected early against Twins
Starter Nick Pivetta attempted a pickoff play with second baseman Vaughn Grissom covering the bag. Byron Buxton, the runner at second, retreated to the bag, and was safe. However, Grissom blocked the base by dropping his knee, leading the umpires to rule obstruction and award Buxton third base.
