LOS ANGELES -- The Reds will help Matt Harvey assimilate into the rotation by focusing more on innings and less on pitch count.
In his Reds debut Friday, Harvey went four innings against the Dodgers and gave up just one gift hit, when Cody Bellinger's towering fly ball was lost in the evening sky by right fielder Scott Schebler.
Harvey threw 55 pitches Saturday, his most since throwing 96 on April 19 against the Braves, while pitching for the Mets. But it is the start-stop flow pitchers contend with that has more of interim manager Jim Riggleman's focus.
