Zebby Matthews allowed just one run over five innings with seven strikeouts in a no-decision on Sunday against the Cardinals.
When Matthews is on, like this start, he’s a lot of fun to watch. He has a lot of confidence in his fastball, slider, and cutter with the command to throw each in any count and against hitters from both sides of the plate. His slider is the wipe out pitch though and it forced seven swings-and-misses on 15 total swings. He could be a difference-maker down the stretch and is scheduled to face the Blue Jays at home next time out.
