Matsuzaka dazzles in American debut
Daisuke Matsuzaka struck out 10 in his major league debut guiding the Boston Red Sox past the Kansas City Royals 1 0. He allowed six hits including a sixth inning homer by David DeJesus and walked one on a cold day. The pitcher showed a brilliant fastball around 95 mph and a varied mix of offspeed pitches. He retired 10 batters in a row at one point and earned the win as Boston’s new ace drew huge interest from Japanese media and Fenway supporters.
