Right-handed pitcher Diasuke Matsuzaka of the Boston Red Sox has donated $1 million to the Red Sox Foundation to victims of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.  The Red Sox Foundation will support the Japanese Red Cross Society.

“Our efforts on the field are dedicated to all who are suffering from this catastrophe. We are in this together, so we must overcome tragedy together.” Matsuzaka said

Matsuzaka joins fellow country Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki in supporting the relief efforts.  Matsui donated about $620,000 and Ichiro donated $1.25 million earlier this month.
