Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he hasn’t yet seen left-handed reliever Brian Matusz turn the corner this season, on the heels of Matusz allowing a two-run home run to put Saturday’s 8-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics out of reach.
Matusz came off the disabled list two weeks ago after missing the beginning of the season with a back strain, and has allowed runs in three of his five outings after Saturday’s effort.
“You’re trying to trust him,” Showalter said. “He got a lot of innings, we stretched him out and did a lot of things to try to get him [ready].
