Matt Harvey entered Sunday’s fifth inning poised to avoid what would’ve been his first outing in nearly two months that he couldn’t describe using an expletive or the term “unacceptable.”
Instead, the Toronto Blue Jays’ fifth-inning rally left the veteran Orioles right-hander with more of the same in a 7-4 loss in front of a season-high crowd of 14,917 on Father’s Day at Camden Yards. Two home runs from Trey Mancini, giving him 100 in his career, might’ve been enough to overcome a fifth inning in which Harvey allowed four runs after pitching four scoreless frames if not for three more runs scoring on the bullpen’s accord.
