It was a beautiful 60-degree day in New York as the Orioles and Mets faced off in Game 2 of a short series, but Matt Harvey’s return to Citi Field wasn’t quite as beautiful. Mets fans gave Harvey a classy standing O as he took the mound, but 4 2/3 innings with seven runs allowed was not what any of us were hoping for from Harvey today.
Even so, I admire the righty plenty. He’s not particularly pretty to watch on the mound, working at a slow and laborious pace, grimacing and casting weary skyward glances all the time.
