Matt Harvey struck out a season-high seven batters, tossed 102 pitches and let up just two runs and seven hits in six innings against the Reds on Wednesday at Citi Field.
"This is the best, I think, he's thrown all year," Terry Collins said after the game. "I thought his stuff was better tonight. I thought the ball came out of his hand much better, much cleaner tonight ... It's nice to see the velocity up."
Collins has said Harvey has been working on his mechanics with pitching coach Dan Warthen for the past few weeks to try to correct his early-season struggles.
