John Lackey Takes Shot At A-Rod: Boston Red Sox Pitcher Tells Media He Shouldn't Have To Pitch Against Alex Rodriguez Because Of Steroids

The historic rivalry between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox took another interesting turn just ahead of the three-game set between the American League East rivals set to open Friday night at Fenway Park in Boston. Lackey (7-10, 3.32 ERA in 21 starts), who is set to face off with Hiroki Kuroda (11-7, 2.33 in 24) Saturday, isn't too thrilled that Alex Rodriguez will be in the lineup, and feels like he shouldn't have to pitch against him.
