Dice-K out after five-plus shaky innings

Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches to the Kansas City Royals this afternoon at Fenway Park. Matsuzaka left the game with two outs and one on in the sixth inning. He had a 5-3 lead, thanks largely to J.D. Drew's grand-slam home run, but he walked six batters to take the American League lead in walks allowed (he has 38 on the season, three more than Fausto Carmona and Jeremy Bonderman). But if the score holds, Matsuzaka's record will go to 8-0, and he would be in sole possession of the American League lead in wins.

Your Turn: Should Daisuke Matsuzaka make the All-Star team?
