04/17 Toronto 2, Boston 1

The Jays spoiled Dice-K's first trip north of 49 by squeaking out a 2-1 win in another fierce battle between 2 strong pitchers.

Matsuzaka pitched a gem, and would have gotten the win if Boston's bats were able to solve Gustavo Chacin. Chacin allowed 6 hits in over 6 innings, but only gave up a solo home run to Pena in the 3rd.

Dice-K pitched a 3-hitter in his 6 innings of work, but allowed 2 runs in the 4th when he lost control of his pitches and walked in what would be the winning run.

Aaron Hill was hitless, but he still leads the team in BAA with a .354 average. Alex Rios' season long hitting streak came to an end against the Red Sox as well.

WP: Chacin (2-0)
LP: Matsuzaka (1-2)
SV: Frasor (1)

Toronto (8-5) Boston (7-5)
