Lackey's first pitch sailed behind the head of Ian Kinsler, and his second drilled the Texas leadoff hitter in the ribs. He was making his season debut after missing more than a month with a forearm strain. "I was definitely shocked," said Lackey. "I haven't pitched in six weeks, and I was amped up. I was trying to come in on him, but there was no intention at all to hit him or throw behind him." Home-plate umpire Bob Davidson didn't issue a warning after the first pitch, something that caught manager Mike Scioscia's eye after the game. "But there was no warning -- none," Scioscia said. "Evidently, he felt there was some history [between the teams] and that John was throwing at Kinsler, which was absurd." |
Angels pitcher John Lackey was ejected after throwing just two pitches against the Rangers on Saturday.
