Boston Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins is sticking by the story he told about his father playing for the New York Yankees, despite no evidence that he actually did.

Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins would never want to play for the Yankees, even if his career were on the line, and he doesn’t care about the justification behind it — made up or not.

Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made some headlines prior to his first career start against the Yankees last week when he said he’d rather retire than pitch for New York.

Abraham Toro added a go-ahead homer in the fifth inning, and Jarren Duran also hit one to help Boston earn its second series win over the Rays this season.
