Steven Matz made his third rehab start Monday night in Reading.
Don’t look at the final score, a 6-2 loss, for Matz’ individual performance. The similarities between Monday and last Wednesday’s start were obvious, and I can almost copy and paste the recap from that one here.

Matz was dominant on the road, although he only pitched 5 1/3 innings as opposed to six frames last time out. He again only gave up one hit, which happened in the first inning. He threw 78 pitches (56 last week).
