Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-1, 5.59 ERA) picked up his first win of the season last night, and it was a great game. Matsuzaka shut the Balitmore Orioles out, going the distance and only giving up 2 hits and walking 2.
----------
The first major transaction of the season has happened. The Boston Red Sox placed
Brad Penny (0-0, 16.21) on the waiver wire after one very bad start. The Seattle Mariners decided that he was worth the one year, five million dollar risk and picked Penny up.
