RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched his third and likely final minor league rehab start at Triple-A Pawtucket (R.I.) on Friday, and should be ready to rejoin the ballclub in Boston next week.  Matsuzaka threw 70 pitches for the PawSox, and finished with five innings of two-run ball with a walk and...drum roll please...nine strikeouts in a losing effort. Matsuzaka has given up two runs in 11 2/3 innings for Pawtucket while building up the arm strength for a return to Boston's starting rotation.
