Still Wild
Matsuzaka issues his third walk of the game with two out in the second. Suzuki led off the inning with a single, and a stolen base later he's at second with Ellis at first.
Billy Beane should be proud of the A's process in this game. They're very selective today, and have taken a number of close pitches for balls.
Barton walks for the second time in the game to load the bases, and that brings the pitching coach to the mound.
Update: Daisuke catches Cust looking to end the inning. Still, it's another 30 pitch inning for Matsuzaka, bringing him up to 60 for the game. Tavarez is warming up.
Dice-K was fortunate to get that last strike on Cust.
