Matsuzaka puts up more zeroes; Hansen struggles

Daisuke Matsuzaka threw five no-hit, shutout innings in Sarasota, Fla., today against the Cincinnati Reds. Coming off his most impressive outing of the spring, last week against Pittsburgh, Matsuzaka struck out six Cincinnati batters. But he also had control problems, walking five.

Jonathan Papelbon added a perfect sixth, but reliever Craig Hansen had a rough day. He gave up five runs while getting only two outs in the seventh inning. Boston trails Cincinnati, 5-0, in the eighth inning.
