Matt Harvey extended his shutout streak to 18 1/3 innings, and Pedro Severino homered twice, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Harvey (6-10) allowed six hits in 6 1/3 innings without walking a batter. After a terrible start to the year, the right-hander pitched a third straight scoreless start for the first time in his career.
“This is great, because it is tough to keep going out there and not getting any results,” Harvey said. “I can’t throw 100 with a 93-mph slider anymore. I have to pitch backward and trust my stuff.
