For Matsuzaka's 25th birthday, the veteran pitcher threw 101 pitches through 7 innings, hitting a batter and walking one with two outs in the first inning, then giving up a single to Kawaguchi to lead off the fifth before striking out the next four batters in order. Otherwise, he was perfect.

Yamagishi came in leading 10-0 in and immediatedly gave up a home run to Lopez to lead off the bottom of the eighth. He hit Satake two outs later, but otherwise shut down the Eagles quietly.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
