Harvey unravels, aims to improve out of stretch

CLEVELAND -- The switch flipped in the fifth inning, and Matt Harvey could not flip it back.

It all began with a walk to Carlos Santana, the first baserunner that Harvey allowed in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Indians. Until then, Harvey was cruising, striking out the side in the first inning en route to 13 straight outs. This may not have been vintage Harvey -- his velocity sat in the low-90s all afternoon, not the mid- to upper-90s to which the Mets are accustomed -- but it was plenty good enough.
