Daisuke has a pretty good start. Led off the game with 3 walks to load bases with 0 outs but got out of it only allowing 1 run. Then he dominated the next 5 innings and is in line to get the win as the Sox lead 2-1 with Papelbon about to come in. Matsuzaka's final line:

6 IP, 5 hits, 5 walks, 9 K's, 1 run and 126 pitches.

Tomorrow's matchup favors SD as it is Chris Young vs. Wakefield. 10:05 PM EST start.

Sunday's game may end up on ESPN classic for years when you just look at the pitching matchup (probably won't live up to the hype, but one can hope...); Jake Peavy vs. Josh Beckett. Amazingly enough, ESPN wasn't smart enough to make it the Sunday Night game of the week- 4:05 PM EST start.

Nice win in the first game of the series for the Sox. Great pitching and it looks like Coco Crisp maybe on to something now.

Chris Young is a good pitcher but him throwing 88 MPH fastballs by all of our batters is kind of getting embarassing.

Do something about it, please.

Yeah I don't know what the hell was going on last night. Theres not much discussion on these games because no one is around to see them. I hate when they go out west. Yeah you can play baseball at 10 PM so no one can see the games. You can baseball in the woods too.

Hopefully they can take the rubber game of the series this afternoon. Looks like an All-Star game starters preview here. Peavy is just absolutely filthy this year. Should be fun to watch.

Real good inning for the Sox there. Plus Peavy has really had to work so far this game. Hopefully they can keep it up.

I would be estatic if we could pick up another game on the Yankees. Who would of thought the Yankees would actually lose ground playing SF??

Well it's official... Yankees out of second place again. Great game all around by the Sox today.
