Matz Spins 2-0 Shutout Against St. Louis
Cincinnati Reds starter Steven Matz really did a number on the St. Louis Cardinals, shutting them out, 2-0, on 3 hits in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 6 strikeouts.

"We didn't have good at-bats," said St. Louis manager Ty Van Burkleo. "I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Matz."

Thus far this season, Matz has tossed 153.1 innings in 26 starts, fanned 112 batters, walked 42 and put up a 3.76 ERA with 10 wins and 8 losses.
