Hiroki Kuroda and the Yankees face John Lackey in Boston. Given Lackey’s comments about Alex Rodriguez, I wonder if A-Rod will get drilled.
Arizona fights to stay alive in the playoff race, and Pittsburgh needs just ten more wins to finish over .500.
Stephen Strasburg against Mike Minor is the pitching match-up of the day. Washington is desperate for a win.


I think it’s great that a guy who divorced his cancer-ridden wife feels entitled to sound off about a guy who cheated at a game.
I hope Lackey throws at A-Rod and somebody breaks his nose.
Lackey did drill Stewart, the last pitch he threw. Came close on the previous pitch and he came close to Nunez the batter before, before walking him. Why? No idea, but it looked like he was trying to drill someone on the way out and did.
