Although he struck out nine, Zebby Matthews lost to the Giants after allowing five runs in five innings on Monday.

The Giants had a nice little .538 BABIP against Matthews tonight, which doesn’t count Drew Gilbert’s homer in the fifth. Matthews has been pretty much all or nothing these last two months; he’s allowed one or no runs four times and four or more runs in the remainder of his nine starts. This leaves him 9-11 with a 4.90 ERA with likely one start remaining Sunday against Texas.
