Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners in Seattle
Boston Red Sox' starter Daisuke Matsuzaka, of Japan pitches against the Seattle Mariners in the first inning at Safeco Field in Seattle May 27, 2008. Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka left the game before the bottom of the fifth inning. Red Sox spokesman Henry Mahegan said "shoulder fatigue" ended Matsuzaka's chance to join Josh Beckett as the second Boston pitcher since 1971 to begin a season 9-0. Seattle beat Boston 4-3 to end a season-high seven-game losing streak. (UPI Photo/Jim Bryant)
