NEW YORK - The second game of the Phillies' first 2015 series against the Mets was billed as Matt Harvey's return to the Citi Field mound after a season-long absence. It featured plenty of the hard-throwing righthander, yet also much more.
The Phillies, anemic offensively for much of the first seven games, slugged four home runs, two coming from a previously slumping Chase Utley. Three batters were hit. Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected. David Wright exited with a hamstring pull. And an energy-filled Tuesday night in Flushing ended after 3 hours, 12 minutes in a 6-5 Mets win.
