New York Mets rough up Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey in return to Citi Field

NEW YORK -- Matt Harvey was greeted warmly by Mets fans in his return to Citi Field and harshly by New York's hitters.

Harvey pitched against his former team for the first time and allowed Kevin Pillar's two-run triple in a three-run second inning that carried the Mets to their seventh straight win, 7-1 over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Wearing orange and black instead of blue and orange, Harvey (3-3) gave up a season-high seven runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, and his ERA rose from 3.60 to 4.
