Matsuzaka makes last spring start, ready for MLB debut

PHILADELPHIA, United States - Boston Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is starting his rookie season in the major leagues, looks unhappy after giving up a two-run homer to Pat Burrell in the third inning in a shaky outing against the Philadelphia Phillies on March 31 in his last spring start. He allowed three runs on two hits and four walks in four innings, but picked up the win thanks to run support from the Red Sox offense in their 7-5 victory. (Kyodo)
