More Matusz (updated)

Brian Matusz has completed five innings in the intrasquad game, and he hasn't allowed a runner to reach since my last entry. Pitching coach Rick Kranitz wanted Matusz to work from the stretch, so he put a runner on second base in the fifth. Yes, you know it's spring training when... The Orioles want Matusz to throw around 100 pitches. Alfredo Simon gave up a run in the fourth. This game is comprised mostly of minor leaguers. Craig Tatum is catching Matusz. Update: Kranitz put a runner on third base with one out in the sixth inning and brought the infield in, but Matusz induced a grounder to short that resulted in an out at the plate. Will Ohman gave up a run today, but it doesn't count.
