Zebby Matthews lasted just 2 1/3 innings and gave up five runs Wednesday to take a loss to the Tigers.

Matthews had some unusual control issue today, walking four of the 13 hitters he faced. The first three batters who walked all came around to score. The fourth didn’t, but that was a bases-loaded walk that forced in a run. Matthews had been 5-1 with a 3.50 ERA and seven walks in six starts since the beginning of August. He’s probably not going to be worth using in mixed leagues against the Yankees next week.
