What happened: Boston lifted Payton Tolle with two outs in the fifth of its wild-card Game 1. Erik Miller left a fastball middle-middle to Ben Rice, who drove it to dead center for a solo homer.
Why it matters: The homer punished Boston's matchup move in the first bullpen decision of the night. A Game 1 swing puts immediate pressure on bullpen usage for the rest of the series.
By the numbers: Tolle: 4.2 IP before exit; Rice: solo HR off Miller.
What to watch: Boston must Game 1 continues with series leverage on every reliever move.
