Monday morning things
The game story in the DMN focuses on Doug Mathis, who threw five shutout innings yesterday before allowing a 2 run homer with one out in the sixth and getting lifted. Although the end result was satisfactory, I was underwhelmed with yesterday's performance from Mathis...11 flyball outs to just 1...
