Red Sox 4, Royals 1
Daisuke Matsuzaka lived up to the hype in his debut against the Royals. Dice-K struck out 10 and had the Royals hitters off balance all day. The only run he gave up was on a 6th inning homerun by David DeJesus.
Zack Greinke, meanwhile, also pitched well in his first start since 2005. Greinke pitched 7 innings, giving up 8 hits and 1 earned run. Most importantly, he walked only one while striking out 7.
Things unraveled for the Royals in the 8th, when Joel Peralta entered the game in relief of Greinke. Peralta gave up three hits, but Gordon committed an error on an easy ground ball off the bat of Mike Lowell that rolled between his legs and into left field. The Sox scored 2 runs (1 earned) in the inning, pushing their 1 run lead to a 3 run lead.
Matsuzaka left after seven innings and the Royals went quietly in the 8th and 9th, giving the Red Sox a 4-1 win and a 2-1 series win.
The Tigers will come to KC tomorrow night, and Breaking 100 will be there.
