Matz allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Braves.
Matz was excellent, with the only blemish on his line the result of a second-inning Adam Duvall solo home run. Matz had 15 quality starts in 30 starts last season and he's already added his first this year. The 29-year-old southpaw lines up to face the Red Sox at home Thursday.
