Scouting Report:
Red Sox: Dating back to Sept. 22, 2007, the Red Sox have won Matsuzaka's last eight starts. Matsuzaka earned a no-decision in his last start, but was in top form, limiting the Blue Jays to two hits and no runs over seven innings. Matsuzaka turned in a strong performance against the Tigers on April 8, firing 6 2/3 shutout innings, and is limiting opponents to a .164 average.Tigers: Bonderman has some momentum going in his favor following a victory at Yankee Stadium, where he loaded the bases three batters into the game and went on to toss 7 2/3 innings of two-run ball. It was one of the strongest performances of the season from a Tigers starter not named Armando Galarraga, and it showcased what Bonderman can do if he stays aggressive and claims the inside part of the plate against left-handed hitters. If he can do the same against David Ortiz and Boston's feared lineup, he'll give himself a shot to get over the .500 mark.
