Yankees manager Joe Girardi has accused Boston's Brad Penny of deliberately hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch. Rodriguez was hit in the back with a pitch in the first inning Thursday night at Fenway Park, prompting umpires to warn both teams. The Red Sox went on to win 4-3 and improved to 8-0 against the Yankees this season.
