NEW YORK — It was unclear who, exactly, walked off the mound Thursday night. The back of the jersey said “Harvey,” but the scoreboard said Nationals 9, Mets 1, with just one out in the third inning.
During his short night, New York Mets starter Matt Harvey was booed with progressive levels of lust. When Anthony Rendon doubled to drive in two runs, the verbal disdain began. Wilson Ramos’ single brought it up another notch. Ben Revere’s triple was the final blow. Before the third inning was over, Mets manager Terry Collins came from the dugout to mercifully end the bludgeoning taking place in the town square.
