Morning Briefing: Unlike Dark Knight, Steven Matz is on a roll

WASHINGTON -- At least Steven Matz is clicking on all cylinders.

Matz will bid to win his seventh straight start when the New York Mets and Washington Nationals meet in Wednesday’s 1:05 p.m. ET rubber game at Nationals Park.

Matz (6-1, 2.81 ERA) opposes right-hander Tanner Roark (3-3, 2.89).

If Matz goes to 7-0 in a seven-start stretch with a win Wednesday, he would be the first Mets pitcher to do so since Steve Trachsel in 2006.
