Dice-K steady

Another fairly quick inning for Dice-K with a single and a steal by Alexei Ramirez as the only action.

Matsuzaka got Joe Crede flapping at a slider, Orlando Cabrera to pop to center (one more Cabrera’s officially picking on Jacoby Ellsbury), and A.J. Pierzynski to shoot a grounder to second.

Ramirez pulled himself off the bag pretty slowly after swiping second off Jason Varitek in the middle of Pierzynski’s at-bat, but looked fine after a second or two.
