In the earliest major league opener, and the third in Japan, Jonathan Papelbon struggled before getting the save. He walked Daric Barton leading off the bottom of the10th and gave up a one-out RBI double to Emil Brown, who was tagged out in a rundown between second and third.

After a pair of singles, Kurt Suzuki hit a game-ending groundout, sealing the win for Japanese reliever Hideki Okajima (1-0).

Street gave up a tying homer in the ninth to Brandon Moss, who started because right fielder J.D. Drew was scratched with lower back tightness. It was Moss' first major league homer.

Matsuzaka, former star of the Seibu Lions, allowed a pair of first-inning runs, one on a homer by Mark Ellis. He struck out six and walked five in five innings.

Jack Hannahan's two-run homer off Kyle Snyder put Oakland ahead 4-3 in the sixth.

The A's also will be the home team for Game 2 of the series at the Tokyo Dome on Tuesday, then will host Boston on April 1 and 2 in Oakland.
