Definitely not ideal for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a 2-2 game with two outs in the bottom of the seventh with Pedro Ram\u00edrez on first when Pete Crow-Armstrong roped a line drive down the line against Brent Headrick. <\/p>\n<p>Only inches separate the foul line and the side wall, and Dom\u00ednguez ran toward the wall before the ball hit it and ricocheted away from him. It is impossible to say whether Ram\u00edrez would have scored if Dom\u00ednguez fielded it cleanly, but instead he was able to cruise home for the 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a little akin to Fenway with, just that barrier right there,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cIt\u2019s a tough aspect of this ballpark. One of the things you prepare for and we talk about ballpark factors and things like that, but it\u2019s one of the nooks in this place that makes it tough in that corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure
