Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka flirted with a no-hitter in Philadelphia on Saturday night.

He took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and had two outs when Juan Castro hit a looper over Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia.

"When I saw it fall in I was a little bit disappointed, but I didn't let it drag on and I focused on the next hitter," Matsuzaka said through a translator.

Boston defeated Philadelphia 5-0.
