Between then and now, baseball's media universe will be abuzz with talk of Harvey, who was as dominant Sunday as at any point this season. Striking out seven over five innings, Harvey allowed just one hit. Only four of the 18 batters he faced hit the ball out of the infield.
But the Mets removed Harvey after the fifth in an effort to keep him within spitting distance of 180 innings in his first season back from Tommy John surgery -- a significant point of contention amongst the Mets, Harvey and his agent, Scott Boras. As soon as Harvey departed, the Yankees capitalized on two Mets errors to explode for a five-run sixth against reliever Hansel Robles, who allowed a two-run double to Carlos Beltran and a three-run homer to Dustin Ackley.
