Matusz Providing Relief in a Role He Doesn't Relish

From this article that I posted earlier in the thread:

Matusz inherted 14 runners last season. None of them scored. He's inherited 10 this season. None of them scored.

24 inherited baserunners over the last 2 years since he was put into the bullpen, and none have scored.

And the streak is over.

Matusz had stranded 25 inherited runners out of the bullpen last year and this year combined, up until the home run that he just allowed (Matusz had inherited a runner from Chen, who scored on the HR.)

Bummer.

I feel like this always happens after a rain delay. Had the guy down two strikes and just missed his spot. Get 'em next time, Brian.

Yup...bad located fastballs go a long way.

Shows you how just one bad pitch can change an entire game. Matusz had been great but badly missed in one pitch and he paid dearly for it.

It was one of the worst pitches I've ever seen. Not hyperbole.

Slight correction: 26 inherited runners stranded.

Matusz has found his role . He's a solid addition to the bullpen.
