Game Story, 7.3.07: Daisuke shines in 4-1 win

Source: Yahoo!
Boston Red Sox's Julio Lugo gestures between innings after hitting a two-RBI single against the Tampa Bay Devils Rays in the second inning of their baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston Tuesday, July 3, 2007. He had been 0-for-33 and it was his first hit since June 14th.
BOS   4  7  1(Maybe?)
TAM   1  5  1

W - Matsuzaka (10-5)
L - Kazmir (5-5)
THE STARTER:
Daisuke Matsuzaka was the star of the show in yesterday's 4-1 victory over the D-Rays. Matsuzaka went 8 innings, surrendered just four hits, allowed no runs, one walk and struck out 9 batters. He threw 122 pitches, 84 for strikes.

THE 'PEN:

All-Star Jonathan Papelbon made an appearance and only threw one bad pitch, a home run by Carlos Pena that broke up the shutout with two outs in the 9th. Papelbon got a pop out on the next pitch to end the game.

THE LINEUP:

Holy Julio Lugo! He got a hit! Lugo went 2-for-3 in the nine spot with two RBI. He improved his average to .194. In the second, Jason Varitek grounded out to score Manny Ramirez. In the 6th, Varitek hit a sac fly to score Youkilis. Youk went 1-for-3 with two runs and a walk.

THE FIELD:

The only hiccup was when Coco Crisp fielded a Akinori Iwamura ball off the wall, threw to second base, and Dustin Pedroia tagged him, but then dropped the ball. It was marked an error, later changed to a hit, but now I see a box score with the Sox having one error, but no listing of what it was.


WINNER: Gotta' give it to the Dioe-Man.


WINNER: Not Julio Lugo.

BTW, anyone else see this post from our sister site? Doormat indeed. Also has the monetary figure incorrect.

Indeed.  Since his June 5th start against Oakland, here are Matsuzaka's stats:

6 GS 42 IP 26 H 6 ER 16 BB 51 K 1.29 ERA 1.00 WHIP

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

OK, maybe they don't get to see the Sox games when Dice-K pitches but maybe the posters should read a box score/pitching summary before posting that stuff.
