Martinez's wild, somewhat wacky start gives Yankees 1-0 lead

NEW YORK • For context, consider that Carlos Martinez has now pitched two innings and it has taken him 58 pitches to get that far.

Not one of those pitches has been put in play.

He has thrown 58 pitches -- ok? -- and the Yankees have yet to put one of those pitches in play in fair territory where there can be an out or a hit recorded. Martinez has walked six and struck out six and the Yankees lead, 1-0, because of a wild pitch that allowed one of those batters he walked to score.
