6/14: You’re the best around!

Boston’s offense made sure they didn’t have to worry about Daisuke Matsuzaka’s continued struggles.
How much has Pawtucket Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz dominated International League batters this season?
This much: through games of June 12, the slim Texan leads the league in earned-run average (1.75) and WHIP (0.82). And he also has a combined total of fewer hits (40) and walks (15) than innings pitched (67).
On May 25 at Louisville, Buchholz flirted with a perfect game by retiring the first 24 batters before Danny Richer singled to lead off the ninth. He finished with a complete-game, 3-0 victory.
And even though his record is a modest 4-0, Pawtucket has scored three or fewer runs in five of his seven no-decisions.
Two questions are obvious:
Why has he been so much more effective this season than in the past? Why is he toiling in Triple-A Pawtucket instead of Boston?
