Japanese Battle
Akinori Iwamura leads off against Daisuke Matsuzaka and draws a walk to start the bottom of the first.
Update: Upton gets a bit under a ball and flies out to center, but Pena draws a walk to put men on first and second with one out.
Update: Matsuzaka throws a pretty pitch inside to catch Longoria looking. Two down.
Update: Crawford walks to load the bases. I'm impressed Dice-K could walk Carl, whose career high in walks in 37.
Update: Cliff Floyd grounds out to end the inning. There was Matsuzaka's season in an inning. Lots of walks, no hits to move the runners. Both teams fail to take advantage of scoring opportunities, and the game goes to the second scoreless.
