Goose eggs were the order of the day for the Atlanta Firebirds as starter Steven Matz shut them out, 6-0, at Great American Ball Park. The Cincinnati pitcher struck out 8 and walked 0 while allowing 3 hits.

"Matz was good but he wasn't flawless," Atlanta manager Barry Larkin said. "We had a few opportunities to make something happen and we didn't do it. Not to take anything away from Cincinnati, but this is on us."

In 21 starts this season, Matz has recorded a 8-7 record and a 4.30 ERA.
