For Masahiro Tanaka, playing under the bright lights of the MLB postseason is nothing new.
When Tanaka takes the mound against the Cleveland Indians in their American League wild-card series on Wednesday, he'll do it with the experience of a 5-3 record and 1.76 ERA in eight career postseason starts behind him.
"I think the most important thing is trying to be yourself and playing your type of game," Tanaka told reporters during an online news conference on Tuesday.
