Daisuke Matsuzaka Makes First Appearance as Red Sox Top Marlins
Matsuzaka made his first appearance of spring training, coming on in
relief of starter Tim Wakefield, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Florida
Marlins 6-4 on Thursday.
Matsuzaka, whose spring has been
delayed by back and neck ailments, pitched two innings, giving up a run
on two hits after Wakefield allowed three runs on six hits with two
walks in six innings.
In his fifth start of the spring,
Chris Volstad went 4 1/3 innings for Florida, giving up four runs — one
earned — on eight hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
Dan Uggla hit a three-run homer for
the Marlins, his second home run of spring training.
