He allowed three hits, walked none, struck out one, and had his fastball clocked between 91 and 93 mph, according to Marc Carig of Newsday.
Matz had surgery in late-September to remove a large bone spur from his pitching elbow. He ended his season early due to a rotator cuff impingement, which did not require surgery. Instead, Matz received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left shoulder.
