UPDATE: Lester leaves game after being hit on knee by liner
By: Alex Speier

NEW YORK -- Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester left Friday's game after Melky Cabrera lined a single off the inside of the pitcher's right knee in the bottom of the third inning. Lester immediately collapsed on the mound. He was attended to by Red Sox trainers, but was able to get back to his feet with some assistance. He limped off the field under his own power.
 
X-rays taken of the pitcher at Yankee Stadium were negative. He was diagnosed with what was described as a contusion of the right quad. He is described as day-to-day. Lester left with the Red Sox trailing, 4-0, with one out in the bottom of the third. He had given up all of the runs on eight hits and three walks. He needed 78 pitches to labor through the outing prior to the injury.
