On Wednesday, the New York Mets lost to the San Francisco Giants 8-5. Matt Harvey went six innings, striking out two, and walking two. In the loss, Harvey allowed seven earned runs and three of them were home runs.
Fantasy Impact:
Harvey once again got hurt early into his outing, he allowed two runs in the first inning. But from then on he was lights out, for the next four innings he was completely shut down. But in the sixth the train came off the tracks, Harvey allowed five runs in the inning and that was the end of his night. Harvey is now 6-4, with a 3.62 ERA in 73 2/3 innings of work, and he has 80 strikeouts this season. Harvey is still the power righty that he has always been, but recently he has looked a little bit more vulnerable. But these starts are of no concern, Harvey has been an ace all year, and will be able to turn it around as he has this season after a bad start. There is no reason to panic on Harvey it's still early and he will be able to find his way as the season progresses. It'll be interesting to see how Harvey bounces back in his next start, as he tries to get back into the win column.
