Sailing through the second

Matsuzaka retired the Royals in order in the second, getting rookie Alex Gordon on a flyout to left, Ryan Shealy on a soft, sinking liner to right and, after falling behind Ross Gload 0-and-2, came back to throw three straight strikes, fanning him with a 94 mph fastball.
12 pitches that inning -- 9 strikes, 3 balls.

27 pitches through 2 innings.
