Connolly says:

Matusz inning ends when some guy name Prince flies out to center (he doesnt have Endy power). 17 pitches for Matusz, 13 Ks. Throwing 92-93

The umpires don't even need to see more than 1.3 pitches per batter before reaching the inevitable conclusion that there's a K coming. No sense in wasting time.

GameDay never works on my office computer....mobile mlb.com works pretty well

That link work for you? Bottom 3rd, two outs. Two more Ks for Matusz.

[VeveJones007]

Roch says Matusz was still hitting 93 in the 3rd.

BTW, I have little doubt that Matusz is one of the 5 best starting pitchers on the O's right now. I just wonder where he'll be placed in the rotation.

[NewMarketSean]

This is good to know.

I know he's gonna need baby steps to get back to the majors -- and be effective -- but at least he's taking them.

[Brendan25]

4 innings. 2 hits allowed. 6 strikeouts.

Had a ground out against Cabrera, K against Prince, single against Young, and strikeout against Avila in the 4th.

When hes on.. He is our best pitcher.

I say he gets the #2 spot.
