Matt Harvey gives up three triples to Cards minor leaguers

PORT ST. LUCIE - At least the Cardinals minor league team will have something to tell their kids.

Matt Harvey, switched from a Grapefruit League game in Viera to a minor league game at the Mets spring training complex because of the threat of rain, gave up six runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings against the minor league squad Saturday.

The Mets' Opening Day starter was the victim of some minor league defense with routine balls getting past the shortstop and third baseman and the shortstop throwing wide on what would have been a routine play at first.
