MATUSZ OF IMPORTANCE

Brian Matusz came through again, stymieing the Phillies with no hits and two walks over five and a third innings.  He's the real deal, until he comes down with Dengue fever or something, like the rest of my promising pitchers.

Nick Masset tossed a scoreless inning against the Mariners with two K's.  Kenshin Kawakami stretched out to five innings with two earned runs allowed and four strikeouts.

Bobby Abreu returned from his undisclosed "side" injury to hit his first spring homer.  It's all on you, Adrian Gonzalez (who took another oh-fer).  The Red Sox are paying attention to your spring power outage as much as I am, buddy.
