The Red Sox lost a game today, but may also have lost
John Lackey to injury. Lackey left the game in the fifth inning with an apparent right biceps strain—although the severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Other than yielding a two-run home run, Lackey had pitched very well to that point—striking out eight and showing some good velocity. One pitch before he had to leave, he showed some discomfort and was shaking his right arm. The Red Sox got a double from
Jacoby Ellsbury to lead off the game, then were skunked until
Dustin Pedroia got a hit in the ninth.
Alfredo Aceves, assuring he will
not get the fifth starter spot, coughed up a three-run home run to
Colby Rasmus to account for
the final 5-0 score. All in all, a crappy day north of the border.
