INDIANS 13, RED SOX 6: Postgame stats and notes

-- This was the first extra-inning ALCS game since Game Five of the 2004 ALCS, when the Red Sox beat the Yankees in 14 innings

-- Since 2002, the home team in an LCS has won Game One five teams, but has advanced to the World Series just once.

-- The first nine innings took 4 hours and 23 minutes to play. Had the game ended in nine, it would have been the longest nine-inning game in ALCS history.

-- The Indians' seven-run 11th inning was the highest-scoring, tie-breaking final inning in ALCS play. The previous record was three.

-- The 4 2/3 innings pitched by Curt Schilling marked the second-shortest postseason start of his career. The shortest was the three innings he pitched in Game One of the 2004 ALCS, when his ankle injury forced him from the game.

-- Mike Timlin made his 22nd career LCS appearance, three behind Mariano Rivera for the LCS record.

-- The Red Sox utilitized an LCS-record eight pitchers. The teams combined to use 14 pitchers, matching an LCS record for most pitchers used in an extra-inning game.
