Matsuzaka lasts 1-plus inning in loss

Boston Red Sox's Daisuke Matsuzaka of Japan delivers a pitch during the first inning of their 9-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston, Saturday, June 21, 2008. Matsuzaka took the loss in his first game since coming off the disabled list.

Daisuke Matsuzaka said he felt fine in his return from the disabled list. He certainly didn’t look fine. Troy Glaus hit a grand slam and the St. Louis Cardinals rocked Matsuzaka in his return, beating the Boston Red Sox 9-3 on Saturday. On the DL since May 30 because of a mild strain in his rotator cuff, Matsuzaka (8-1) was tagged for seven runs in one-plus inning.
