I was surprised that I hadn’t previously posted this scoresheet. Daisuke Matsuzaka was all the rage in 2007, and here he was in just his second start (and first at home) matched up against King Felix. Matsuzaka wasn’t bad – he wound up going seven, allowing three runs, fanning four and walking one – but Felix was spectacular. He set down the first eight before Dustin Pedroia worked a walk, and took a no-hitter into the seventh. In the eighth, JD Drew grounded the first pitch up the middle to end the no-hit bid, but Hernandez set down the last six Red Sox to polish off a one-hitter with six strikeouts and two walks on 111 pitches.
