The Twins and Angels pitching staffs have been relatively powerless against Alex Rodriguez in the postseason, but John Lackey continues to stand up nicely against A-Rod.

Rodriguez fouled out in his first plate appearance Thursday and struck out in his second at-bat. He's now a career 10-for-57 (.175) with 25 strikeouts against Lackey. Rodriguez does have four home runs in those 57 at-bats.
