After giving up a solo home run to Tigers catcher James McCann in the second inning, Harvey began to show some of the form that made him the starter of the 2013 All-Star Game. He retired eight of the next nine batters to get through the fourth inning.
"I made a bad pitch [to McCann]," Harvey said. "[It was] one of those things where you throw a changeup and wish you had it back the minute it leaves your hand."
Harvey's best sequence came during McCann's second at-bat in the fourth inning, when he hit 95, 96 and 95 mph on the radar before striking the catcher out with a slider to end the inning.
