The four-game visit this past weekend from the Detroit Tigers was fruitful for the Orioles as a whole, and as a result many of the individuals inside the clubhouse.
For left-hander Brian Matusz, the team success had to suffice, as a heavily right-handed Tigers lineup kept him from getting a chance to string together the types of outings that could help him steady his season.
Matusz made his best appearance of the season on May 11 in an 11-3 win over the Minnesota Twins, but hasn’t pitched since, leaving him to continue his daily routine of workouts and preparation without an opportunity to build on it.
