"The first inning was as torturous for Jon Lester as it was interminable.

It took the Red Sox lefthander 43 pitches to extract himself after allowing three consecutive hits, including an RBI double to left by Robinson Cano, to spot the Yankees a 1-0 lead.

Initially, it was reported Lester had thrown 44 pitches, but it was later corrected to 43. It still wound up being a career high for an inning."
