John Lackey goes five in win over Phils
John Lackey - S - Boston Red Sox
March 22, 2013 - 12:35 AM ET

John Lackey pitched five innings of one-run ball Thursday in Boston's 6-1 defeat of Philadelphia.

It's good news for the Red Sox that Lackey seems to be getting better with each performance. We're not sure that trend will carry into the regular season, but perhaps he'll be an adequate fourth starter. Overall, he's allowed seven runs and struck out just five in 11 2/3 innings this spring.
