Tale of two firsts

Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff August 23, 2008 01:35 PM

TORONTO - Jon Lester surrendered a two-run homer to Vernon Wells in the first inning, while Boston's offense stranded two runners with one out in the top half of the first inning.

Wells' homer hit the second deck in left field. Lester had retired the first two batters before allowing a single to center to Alex Rios. Wells then struck the long homer. Lester also walked a batter and hit a batter before striking out Lyle Overbay to end the inning.

It's 2-0 Jays in the second.
