Harvey (8-6) grinded through the first five innings before finding a groove after his first big-league homer.

“It was awesome”, Syndergaard said of his night. “There’s more to life than baseball and sometimes that’s really hard to feel and to realize as players”. Candidates for the sixth spot in Matz’s absence would be deposed starter Dillon Gee and reliever Logan Verrett. It’s only a matter of time; the Mets pitching staff has actually out-hit the Mets bench this year, so Bart is due. New York reacquired the outfielder after the Angels waived him and was only 7-for-66 on the season before today.
“I thought it wasn’t a homer because I saw the fan reaching to get the ball”, Peralta said. “That’s what we talk about, coming back from Tommy John”.
“He located pretty much every off-speed pitch where he wanted to throw it”, said All-Star outfielder A.J.
Torii Hunter’s towering two-run homer into the third deck against his former team highlighted a 16-hit afternoon for Minnesota in a win over visiting Detroit.
Nieuwenhuis was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last week.
2 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors, 0 left on.
“(As a staff) We got a lot of confidence in our stuff”, Niese said.
Now we’re just waiting on Bart Colon to join the club. Arizona scored only once in eight innings off New York’s Noah Syndergaard, who struck out 13. That New York media are straight up savages. “He’s a great kid”.
After taking two games on the road against the Texas Rangers, there’s something brewing at Chase Field, home of a team that has won seven of his last 10 games.
Syndergaard is 4-1 with a 1.74 ERA in six starts at Citi Field. Pollock led off the game by drawing a full-count walk. Paul Goldschmidt is now leading the National League while batting. Mejia had served an 80-game suspension for using Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing drug.
Two outs later, Campbell walked to set the scene for Harvey.
Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 chances.
The Mets finish the first half with a record of 47-42, an improvement on the 45-50 mark at the break last season.
“He wasn’t very happy when he went back out there in the second inning”, Collins said.
Cuddyer, who’s playing with an injured left knee, is a career.
“As you saw the game went, his command got better, stuff got better”, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Arizona manager Chip Hale and a trainer came out, but Anderson walked it off and threw one warmup pitch before staying in the game. The brief hope of an early lead proved to be a short-lived mirage, as Chase Anderson’s struggles with the long-ball continued during a four-run first inning for the Mets.
