Seven things to know from Friday’s game

1. Making his first start since August 15, Steven Matz’s night got off to a shaky start in the first inning. Ronald Acuna Jr. doubled to lead off the game, followed by a Freddie Freeman single and an RBI single from Marcell Ozuna. Matz allowed four hits and walked a batter in the first inning, but he escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Austin Riley to end the inning.
