A pair of rookies square off in Mariners-Red Sox finale

Jun 27, 2007 - 3:30 PM Boston (48-28) at Seattle (41-33) 4:35 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-5, 4.01 ERA) highlights a battle of rookie starters on Wednesday when the Boston Red Sox visit the Seattle Mariners in the finale of a three-game series.

Matsuzaka has been outstanding over his last four starts, allowing just five earned runs in 26 innings. However, he has gone just 2-2 over that stretch as the Red Sox have scored a total of four runs in his starts.

The Japanese righthander has pitched against Seattle twice already during his rookie campaign, going 0-2 while allowing 10 runs in 12 innings.

The Mariners will counter with rookie Ryan Feierabend (1-2, 8.20). The 21-year-old lefthander may be pitching for his job after he was pounded for nine runs in just 2 2/3 innings in his last start.

Feierabend has appeared just once against an American League opponent, allowing four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings to take a loss in his major league debut, May 29 against the Angels.
