Daisuke Matsuzaka is not exactly the one who got away from the Indians. The pitcher is, however, the one who came back, lulled Cleveland’s lineup to sleep and helped the Mets avoid a sweep of a three-game series at Progressive Field.

With the season now in September, the Indians have been busy calling up players from the farm.
