Masterson had trouble finding his arm slot Sunday and gave up six runs on seven hits and two walks in 3.1 innings in a game against the Phillies, WEEI.com reports. With his arm slot off, Masterson couldn't establish normal velocity and was susceptible to left-handed hitters who hit two homers off him. But only in baseball can someone come out of a performance like that with optimism. Masterson said he feels much better this season than he did last year at this time.
