St. Louis Lose, 2-0, to Union, Mata
It wasn't easy but Javier Mata made it look that way.

Mata silenced the St. Louis Lions, 2-0, in a Chicago Union triumph at The Lions Hearth. Despite the appearance of dominance, Mata said that he felt like he was struggling all game. He gave up 1 walk and 2 hits.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I made the decision to bear down and work through it," he said. "I made a few mistakes but it goes to show what you can do with grit and not much else."

To date, Mata has a 6-6 mark in 14 starts with a 3.50 ERA. He has given up 98 hits in 105.1 innings, struck out 82 and issued 20 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .247 batting average against him.
