Matt Harvey looked great in his five innings of work, but then the bullpen got lit up. Three-run home runs by Dustin Ackley and Greg Bird carried the Yankees to an 11-2 win in Queens.
Afterwards, Harvey was asked what role he had in the length of his outing, which included just 77 pitches. He didn't give the most direct response.
Juan Uribe left the game early due to a chest contusion he sustained while making a diving stop.
Before the game, Yoenis Cespedes emphatically denied rumors that his recent slump was caused by him being hit by a pitch in Miami.
