SAN FRANCISCO — Steven Matz has developed a sense for when his pitching mechanics are in order. “When I’m going good, I can get in a good rhythm and just kind of keep going,” he said. Matz was feeling it on Saturday, striking out a career-high 11 batters, and the Mets went on to beat the San Francisco Giants, 2-1, in 11 innings. “That was something that,” catcher Tomas Nito, “and I were really on top of,” Matz said. “We just had a good rhythm going.”Wilmer Flores doubled to left off Giants reliever Hunter Strickland (3-4) to lead off the 11th.
