First earned run of the hot stretch, but sub-.500 OPS-against vs both sides stays intact
Matsui's outing against Washington went 2.0 innings, one hit, one earned run. Set against his elite season line of a 0.64 ERA and 0.93 WHIP, the daily ERA of 4.50 is a case where only the result stands out. Looking back across his last seven appearances, he had been riding a six-game scoreless streak, which means today marks the first earned run he has surrendered during this hot stretch.
The split data is the key story here. This season, right-handed batters are hitting just .167 with a .472 OPS against him (7 strikeouts in 18 at-bats), while left-handed batters sit at .120 with a .427 OPS (7 strikeouts in 25 at-bats). Holding both sides below a .500 OPS-against is remarkable, and the fact that this lefty is neutralizing right-handed hitters so thoroughly shows no platoon vulnerability whatsoever. Today, however, he recorded only one strikeout across two innings. Over his recent run he had been collecting two to three punchouts per outing, so while the zero-walk command remains excellent for his K/BB profile, the strikeout count dipped, and that lone hit translated into the run.
Uniko's note: his season-long dominance has not wavered in the slightest. Once the pitch-type data becomes available, I would like to verify exactly which offering got squared up today, but as long as that sub-.500 OPS-against baseline holds on both sides of the plate, there is no cause for concern. I will be watching for his strikeout rate to bounce back next time out.
