Matz (7-6) took the loss on Monday after allowing four runs in five innings against the Cubs. The lefty gave up eight hits, walked one, and struck out five.
The 25-year-old lefty has now lost five straight decisions for the Mets, watching his ERA rise from 2.39 to 3.56 in the process. That said, Matz has still allowed just nine runs over his last three starts. The lefty will make his next start Sunday against the Marlins.
