Hurt by long ball Matz (0-1) allowed three earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Red Sox.

Impact All of Matz's earned runs came from the bat of Christian Vazquez, who took him yard twice. While he was hardly dominant otherwise, his line was inflated by allowing four infield hits. Matz was unable to follow up his strong opening start of the season, but has shown the ability to work deep into games early on, throwing 11.1 innings across his two outings. He currently lines up to make his third start of the campaign on Tuesday at the Nationals.

Clubs two homers Vazquez went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Mets.

Impact Vazquez took Steven Matz deep twice, the first a solo shot in the second inning. He followed that up with a two-run home run that just got over the left field fence in the fourth frame. Vazquez has quickly racked up four long balls on the campaign, and has been steady at the dish overall by reaching base nine times in 20 plate appearances.

Three hits in Tuesday's start Plawecki went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact Getting the start behind the plate against his former club, Plawecki took full advantage of the opportunity. Christian Vazquez is locked in as Boston's starting catcher, but Plawecki seems well ahead of Jonathan Lucroy on the depth chart and could see a couple starts a week this season as Vazquez's primary backup.

Collects four-out save Lugo earned his first save of the season, pitching a perfect 1.1 innings with one strikeout in Monday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Lugo was able to finish the eighth inning with a runner on first by striking out Christian Vazquez. The right-hander then induced three groundouts to complete the save in the ninth. With regular closer Edwin Diaz faltering in his last outing Saturday versus the Braves, Lugo's strong start to 2020 could see him in the mix for more saves going forward.

Homers in loss Vazquez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

Impact Vazquez didn't appear in Saturday's contest, but he returned with another strong performance and smacked his first home run of the season. The 29-year-old has gone 4-for-7 with two RBI over his first two games this year.

Starts Saturday Plawecki went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Boston manager Ron Roenicke plans to rest starters early in the season, per Ian Browne of MLB.com, so Plawecki replaced Christian Vazquez on Saturday. That could mean Plawecki is the top backup, ahead of Jonathan Lucroy, who appeared as a fill-in for Vazquez in the season-opening blowout win over the Orioles on Friday. Expect Plawecki and Lucroy to get their chances over the first few weeks of the season to establish themselves as the deserving backup before roster cut-downs.

Collects two hits Friday Vazquez went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 13-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact Vazquez slotted in at sixth in the batting order, which was his primary slot in 2019, when he posted career highs in home runs (23) and OPS (.798). While it looks like he's trending up as a hitter, Vazquez has been up and down since becoming Boston's primary catcher.
