Daisuke Matsuzaka fell to 3-2, allowing five runs in six innings in Thursday's loss to the Pirates. Matsuzaka had spotty control, walking four while yielding only five hits -- including a three-run home run to Gregory Polanco -- while striking out four. The right-hander has had good results overall, contributing as a swingman. Matsuzaka now has a 3.23 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and a 49/35 K/BB ratio in 53 innings. He'll face the Braves on the road in his next start.
