Matt Harvey talks about going 7 2/3 strong innings shutting down the Cubs to give the Mets a 1-0 lead in the NLCS.

NEW YORK – A “dent” in Matt Harvey's pitching arm did not slow the Dark Knight on Saturday night.

Making the Game 1 start in the National League Championship Series for the New York Mets, Harvey retired the first dozen batters he faced as the Amazin’s beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-2, at Citi Field.

Harvey ultimately limited the Cubs to two runs on four hits, a hit batter and two walks (one intentional) in 7 2/3 innings to earn the victory.
