Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes signed right-handed pitcher Joey Matulovich (pronounced ma-TOO-lo-vitch) Monday.
The 25-year-old spent four-plus seasons in the Milwaukee Brewers' system, including much of the past two seasons with the Class-A Advanced Midwest League's Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. In five games with the Appleton-based club this season, Matulovich worked 5 1/3 innings and posted an 8.44 earned-run-average.
The native of Walnut Creek, California has compiled a 12-10 win-loss record with two saves and an ERA of 4.66 in 95 professional appearances.
In a corresponding move, Winnipeg placed left-handed pitcher Robert Klinchock on the injured list retroactive to May 14.
Matulovich (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will start for the Goldeyes when they meet the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks this evening at 6:30 in the first of three games at Newman Outdoor Field. Lefty Kevin McGovern (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled for Fargo-Moorhead.
Winnipeg's 30th home opener is set for Friday, May 19 at Shaw Park against the Lake Country DockHounds featuring a magnet schedule giveaway and post-game fireworks.
