He won his Major League debut on August 4, 2009, as he gave up just one run in five innings.”
“Matusz pitched in 280 regular season games throughout his career, starting in 69 of them,” the statement continued. “He pitched for two Orioles’ Postseason teams (2012 and 2014), making seven total Postseason appearances out of the bullpen. He made his last Major League appearance with the Cubs in 2016.”
