Winnipeg Goldeyes’ Joey Matulovich named pitcher of the week

Winnipeg Goldeyes starting pitcher Joey Matulovich is once again the American Association’s pitcher of the week.

Matulovich has been brilliant all season and hasn’t given up more than four earned runs in a game in any of his 13 starts in 2024.
