CLEVELAND — The first inning, you thought: Hmmm.
Matt Harvey faced three Indians in that first inning. He threw 10 pitches. Nine of them were strikes, which struck out the side, Rajai Davis, Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor all walking back to the dugout, muttering to themselves. It’s hard to have a more perfect inning than that.
“Electric,” was the word his manager, Terry Collins, chose.
“In control,” was the way Harvey himself put it.
The first 4 ²/u2083 innings, you thought: Maybe.
Thirteen men up, 13 men down. Maybe you hadn’t called your buddies to alert them what was happening just yet.
