WASHINGTON (AP) – Bartolo Colon’s back was bothering him enough that he told New York Mets manager Terry Collins he wouldn’t be able to hit another memorable home run.
As you can imagine, Harvey’s decision to blow off the media following the game did not sit well with the NY press corp. He wants more than anything to get this straightened out and figured out. “And for your manager to have faith in you and leave you out and face the greatest hitter in the game right now is pretty awesome”.
Red Sox 8, Rockies 3: David Price scattered five hits over seven innings and Jackie Bradley Jr. had two hits to extend his streak to 28 games in Boston’s win over Colorado.
It has been quite a dominant streak for Matz, who began the season allowing a career-high seven runs in a career-shortest 1.2 innings work.
Now he’ll try to show the Washington Nationals just how good he’s become. Michael Wacha (2-5) gave up a career-worst eight runs in four innings and has lost five consecutive decisions for the first time.
The Nationals will be going with right-hander Tanner Roark on Wednesday.
This afternoon, Matz was dominant against the Nats’ lineup. The Nationals saw their lead shrink to a half-game over the Mets in the National League East. Turning to the pitching and defensive side, the Washington pitching staff and defense has been very good, only giving up 0.0 runs per game. “We count on him when he goes out there and I think he picks his game up”.
The Nationals put two on with no outs in the ninth against closer Jeurys Familia, but Familia retired the heart of the Nationals order to secure the win.
After a scintillating start to the season, Washington is starting to give up some ground.
Since allowing those seven runs, Matz has yielded six runs … in 48 innings. “So when he hit a wall in the fifth, I’m not surprised”.
Harvey’s human and no one likes talking publicly about their personal struggles, but the lack of accountability doesn’t play well, and it also deprives him of the opportunity to add his perspective into the narrative.
Harper is 0 for 10 over his last four games and batting a season-low.245.
“It could not have been worse”, Francesa said. Yoenis Cespedes had two hits for NY, who won its previous four games.
Ryan Zimmerman, Anthony Rendon and Daniel Murphy went deep against struggling Mets starter Matt Harvey (3-7).
Harvey, who is 3-7 with a 6.08 ERA, shunned reporters in late March because he was upset over headlines about his bladder infection – which the pitcher said was the result of not urinating frequently enough.
“It’s a bad look, to say the least, especially in NY, and not just because of the responsibility that comes with being a rich-and-famous pro athlete. Those are all things that we haven’t seen in his last couple starts”.
As an unbeaten pitcher for a first-place team, Stephen Strasburg is at the top of his game. Collins said he didn’t know if Flores would come off the disabled list Friday when eligible.

To manage his spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column that causes discomfort, Wright and manager Terry Collins have chose to try giving Wright a rest on the night games after day games. He has started 16 of 19 games for Washington since returning from a right oblique strain in early May.
