CINCINNATI -- The non-waiver Trade Deadline is July 31, which means that Matt Harvey could get one more start before the Reds decide whether or not they want to move him. But if scouts put too much stock in Harvey's disastrous performance on Sunday vs. the Pirates, the phone of baseball operations president Dick Williams might not ring as much.
In a 9-2 Reds loss to Pittsburgh at Great American Ball Park that completed a rough three-game series sweep, Harvey turned in the worst start of his brief tenure in Cincinnati. Over just 3 2/3 innings, he gave up eight earned runs and eight hits -- including four home runs.
