"Well, we'll see how he is with the bruise and how it's going to affect him," Collins said on Sunday night before the teams played Game 2. "But he only threw [97] pitches last night, which is very, very good. If you're going to come back on four days' rest, keeping his pitch count where it was, I think it will be fine for him."
Harvey picked up the ball after the Dexter Fowler smash and threw him out at first base to open the top of the sixth inning. Mets trainers and Collins then went to the mound to see if he was hurt, but when Harvey was able to freely toss a few warmup pitches, he remained in the game until Kyle Schwarber homered with one out in the eighth.
