Dice has been put on 15 day DL. When he comes back can he win #3 or stop at 2?

I'm confused. It appears that he lost on May 27th. Whether he was put on DL or not, he still had that loss, ending the streak.

Boston’s Matsuzaka suffers fatigue in loss to Mariners

"Matsuzaka was forced to leave the game before the bottom of the fifth inning with his side trailing 3-0."
He was losing 3-0 and is credited with the loss, ending the streak.

Maybe I missed something, but was not sure why this was reversed after settlement.

Thanks Donal. My bad. I saw the yahoo column, which gave him an L. Despite, my comment, guess he didn't finish the 5th...which preserved his record, even though he should have had the L. :)
