Former New York Mets pitcher and Long Island native Steven Matz had to wait quite a long time to see the mound in a postseason game 10 years to be exact. The East Setaucket native, once a starter, now turned reliever with the Boston Red Sox, pitched an inning between the fourth and fifth frames in Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees in the Bronx.

Matz has found success over his first five appearances, tossing 11 2/3 innings with four runs allowed and a solid ground ball rate.
