If the saying goes that a playoff series doesn't really begin until both teams have played a home game, the New York Mets loudly announced their presence in the World Series with an impressive victory over the Kansas City Royals in Game 3.
Now, the Mets will turn to rookie pitcher Steven Matz to even the series against Kansas City's wily veteran Chris Young in Game 4 at Citi Field on Saturday night.
These two pitchers have vastly different approaches to the game, as Matz brings power stuff and youthful ignorance and Young succeeds by changing speeds and frustrating hitters with his ability to alter eye levels.
