TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Matt Harvey’s last pitch for the New York Mets was his worst one, ending up as Giancarlo Stanton’s first home run with the Yankees.
Stanton hit a two-run shot just to the right of straightaway center with two outs in the fifth that ended Harvey’s outing Saturday as the Yankees beat the Mets 10-3.
“One too many fastballs,” Harvey said. “That one, obviously, ran back over the middle of the plate. A hitter like that, you can’t do that.”
The drive ended Stanton’s spring-training opening 20 at-bat homerless drought.
