BOSTON - Fans were treated to a great pitching performance in Daisuke Matsuzaka's Fenway Park debut — only it was by Felix Hernandez. Seattle's pitching phenom didn't allow a hit until J.D. Drew singled on his first pitch of the eighth inning, and the Mariners beat the
Boston Red Sox 3-0 Wednesday night in the heralded first major league matchup between Dice-K and Ichiro Suzuki.

The burly Hernandez (2-0), three days past his 21st birthday, pitched a one-hitter for his third complete game in 45 starts. Hernandez struck out six and walked two, retiring his first eight batters until walking Dustin Pedroia, and remained unscored upon in 17 innings this season.
