Matsuzaka, who had his slider working and mixed pitches as the game went along, also had--for him--a relatively low pitch count. He reached 100 pitches only in the sixth inning. After Castro's bloop single just out of the reach of the shortstop Scutaro, DK retired pinch-hitter Ross Gload on a flyout and Matsuzaka's night was, surprisingly, done. So was mine.
Worst news of the day? Jimmy Rollins has again been put on the 15-day DL. Total bummer.
Best? Way to go, Flyers, with another shut-out victory over the Habs.
