Daisuke Matsuzaka had a strong outing as the Boston Red Sox defeated the
Seattle Mariners 5 to 0 at SAFECO Field.
 
Matsuzaka(12-5) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Seattle
hitters.  He didn't allow much, just 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings seeing
his ERA drop from 4.47 to 4.20.  Boston rapped out 12 hits for the night.
 
Jarrod Washburn(8-10) ended up with the loss.  He was touched for 8 hits and 3
walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.  'When Matsuzaka is on like that it is a tough
game to play, no doubt about it,' John McLaren said. 'He always pitches well
against us.'
