NEW YORK -- The New York Mets' bats have awakened after a sluggish start to the season. Now is it Matt Harvey's turn to rise?
Harvey opposes Atlanta Braves right-hander Bud Norris in Friday’s 7:35 p.m. ET series opener at Turner Field.
Harvey enters the game 0-3 with a 5.71 ERA in three starts this season. He has dropped his last four decisions dating to last year.
“I thought he was going to have a big year,” pitching coach Dan Warthen said last weekend in Cleveland, after Harvey allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings.
