In 2019, Matt Harvey and Cedric Mullins found themselves unexpectedly in the minors. The former was a one-time All-Star starter who was once the ace of a New York Mets staff that pitched that club into the World Series. The latter was a young outfielder who looked overmatched in what was expected to be his first full season in the majors.
Monday night at Camden Yards, each played pivotal roles in what to this point has been their renaissance season as the Orioles opened a four-game series against the New York Yankees with a 4-2 victory. Harvey, the right-hander who once earned the moniker “The Dark Knight” for his dominance in New York, held the Yankees to one run in six innings, his longest outing with Baltimore.
