Mets news: Matt Harvey dealt with illness during Sunday’s start

Matt Harvey pitched Sunday’s game while ill, he told reporters after the game.

Harvey, who was given antibiotics before the game, said he felt weak and run down.

When i woke up i couldn’t swallow very well…at that point not sleeping too well and coming into the park i texted one of our trainers and told him I’m coming in not feeling too great. Last thing I want to do is give up a start. It was a battle. I feel like they (the training staff) did a great job trying  to prepare me as best as possible for the outing.
