Matsuzaka's night done; Sox escape jam

Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched into the eighth inning before leaving after having thrown 108 pitches, and then watched Hideki Okajima escape a bases-loaded jam and keep the game scoreless.

The inning began with a flyout by Carlos Gomez, but Alexi Casilla singled to extend his 14-game hitting streak and Joe Mauer followed with another single, ending Matsuzaka's night at 7 1/3 innings. He allowed six hits and three walks and struck out five.

Okajima came on and walked Justin Morneau to fill the bases, but was able to escape.

Jason Kubel popped to Kevin Youkilis in foul territory for the second out and Delmon Young grounded into a fielder's choice to second to end the threat.
