MIAMI — Three errors committed by the Mets might have been enough to sink Steven Matz earlier this season.
The Mets lefty now looks at such potential inning killers as an inconvenience, but nothing fatal.
On Sunday, the Mets booted three grounders — Matz himself was the culprit on one of them — but the pitcher reverted to his conversations with pitching coach Dave Eiland about handling adversity.
In the end, the Mets received 5 ¹/u2083 innings from Matz in which he allowed one unearned run.
“When stuff starts to go out there in the past it would snowball on me,” Matz said after the Mets’ 5-2 victory over the Marlins.
