Daisuke Matsuzaka's homecoming was as memorable as advertised. Brandon Moss and Manny Ramirez made sure of it.
Moss hit his first major-league home run in the top of the ninth to tie the score before Ramirez put Boston ahead with a two-run double in the 10th that gave Hideki Okajima the win as the Red Sox defeated the Oakland A's 6-5 in the 2008 MLB season opener on Tuesday at Tokyo Dome.
"You can't really script that," Boston manager Terry Francona said of Moss' home run. "It certainly played a big part in our win."
