you and jon lester have become quite the pitching/catching tandem. david, what was working tonight against the cardinals that was working in game one? >> jonny, he's just a stud. he goes out and pitches like that. one pitch got hit for a homer by a really good player. you know, what a great teammate and guys that battle and, you know, wainwright is a good pitcher. we had a battle tonight. guys did a good job of putting some bats on him and we were able to squeak out a couple. >> erin: there was a conversation at the bottom of the seventh you were having with john farrell with jon lester about coming back out. what was going on? >> i just thought he hurt himself a little bit. i know something is uncomfortable. jon said he had one more, you know, just that's the kind of teammate that he is. he's going to give it all he's got. i told him, you know, let it all eat. this is it. you've got nothing left. and he did a great job. you know, probably a bad pitch call by me with that last hit to freese. freese did a good job of hitting but that's neither here no

according to jon lester, it's a 1-0 game. and nava would like to change that. pedroia and napoli, the runners. down and in. swung on and missed. >> tim: wonder how many pitches have been swung at, that have been out of the strike zone tonight. i'd say more than half, without knowing. we find out that it's about half. >> joe: the 0-1 pitch. nava came up in 2010. his only home run that year. was a grand slam he hit in his major league debut. tazawa getting loose for the red sox in their pen now. >> tim: first pitch. what a thrill. >> joe: nava spent all of 2011 in the minor leagues. part of 2012. established himself this year, hitting .303. eighth-best average in the american league. and it's up to him here in the sixth. ball two. >> tim: good play, avila. the breaking ball, for the most part, is easy to block in the dirt. but not the fastball because you're not anticipating it being in the dirt. breaking balls, you are. so, you go down with it. >> joe: ball three. the lefty finally getting loose. the left-handed-hitting shortstop, stephen drew, on-deck. that wil

as john henry smith tells us we'll get a taste of it when jon lester faces adam wayne wright. >> jon lester and very good boston red sox rotation had what it took in the alcs to get past a great tigers rotation. they'll have to work magic as they contend with a cardinals rotation that is the second-best in all of major league baseball. the best of the second best is adam wayne wright in his three starts in the post season he's been brilliant, striking out 20 and only walking one batter so far. he and his caster have been plotting on how to beat the boston red sox. >> i know i have my work cut out for me. one of my favourite things to do in the world is game plan for a game. i love it. i'll spend an amount of time today and tomorrow to come up with a plan. >> wayne wright and jon lester are 2 and 1. wayne wright will come up nine day's rest when he throws out the first pitch in the 2013 world series pitting boston against the st louis cardinals. >> the red sox held a workout at fenway park as they are in search of a title. the red sox have hold overs including manager john farrell name

jon lester was almost unhitable. going 10 and two-thirds. five hits, walked one. big poppy taking it deep, throwing it on rob, a home run from him earlier. on the lefty versus lefty, orteze crushes it. the red sox win it 8-1 the final at fenway park. >> it was pretty - it seemed like he missed the ball, the um pir got the right ball. we had momentum. >> momentum for you. a home run, almost a grand slam. what was the difference for you at the plate? >> nothing. like i said before the one series. i didn't get many, i stick to my plan. >> that was the 16th career post season for big poppy, david ortez tying. joining us from fenway park is john henry smith. there'll be two story lines from this game one that will stand out for the fans until we get to game two, for the next three hours. the play in the very first innings - the reverse call at second base. a lot of people screamed for a replay. that's a perfect example of why it was needed, because it required john farrell to come out and argue before dana demooth would confer with the other umpires. mike mcphony was u
