Cementing his reputation as the most frustrating pitcher in baseball, Daisuke Matsuzaka nearly frittered away a 5-run advantage in a meltdown 6th inning in Baltimore. Luckily, Scott Atchicson showed up ready to pitch and worked two hitless innings (striking out 3) to preserve the win for Dice-K (his 9th).
Adrian Beltre was once again the offensive star—beginning the scoring in the second with his 25th HR of 2010. Hey Theo, start thinking about meeting Boars' demands, OK?
