Matt Harvey took a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up three runs in seven-plus innings Tuesday in a victory over the Braves.
Jason Heyward's infield single ended the no-hit bid; Harvey actually had a play on him, but he didn't think he could make the tag after grabbing the ball towards the first base line and decided to flip to first, which happened to be vacant. Harvey got through that inning scoreless anyway, but the eighth was a different story. He loaded the bases with no outs and then got pulled. After he left, all three runners came around to score. The Braves' official scorer made an egregious call on what should have been ruled an error on David Wright, or he would have only allowed one earned run. It took some of the shine of a dominant effort in which Harvey struck out 13. Still, he did pick up his first win since May 17 and his second since April 19. Jun 18 - 4:33 PM

Matt Harvey suffered his first loss of the season Thursday after giving up one run in seven innings against the Cardinals.

Harvey was hardly deserving of the loss, but he received little support from his offense with Adam Wainwright on the hill for St. Louis. He allowed just five hits and one walk on the day while striking out seven. While he took the loss, his ERA actually went down from 2.10 to 2.04. He'll hope for better luck next time out against the Braves.

Matt Harvey (back) has been cleared to make his next start.

Harvey had to exit Saturday's outing with mild tightness in his lower back, but he's fine after visiting a chiropractor. He'll get the ball on Thursday against the Cardinals, with Shaun Marcum starting on Friday against the Cubs.

Matt Harvey (back) expects to be fine for his next scheduled start, Friday night against the Cubs.

Harvey made a precautionary exit from Saturday's game against the Marlins after experiencing some mild tightness in his lower back. He'll throw a bullpen session early next week to truly test his health, but the initial reports are good. The exceptional 24-year-old right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.10 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 95/19 K/BB ratio in 90 innings (13 starts) this season.

Matt Harvey left Saturday's start against the Marlins with lower back tightness.

Harvey was removed in the eighth inning and is expected to undergo further examination before a timetable for his return is established. He allowed one run on six hits with no walks and had six strikeouts before exiting. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but the Mets should provide an update on his status after the game.

Matt Harvey suffered through his worst start of the season Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and two walks over five frames against the Marlins.

The 10 hits were a season high, and it's the shortest outing this season by Harvey. Oddly, two of his worst starts this season have come against the Marlins, though he only wound up allowing one run the first time. He'll get another crack at the Fish next weekend.

Matt Harvey allowed one run over eight innings in a no-decision, as the Mets beat the Yankees on Tuesday.

Harvey was his usual electric self, striking out 10 Yankees while giving up just six hits on the evening. He was in line for a tough-luck loss until the Mets came back against Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, keeping his record at a perfect 5-0. He should have an easier go of it in his next start, as he draws the Marlins on Sunday.

Matt Harvey surrendered four runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Reds.

Harvey was in line to take his first loss, but the Mets came back to tie it in the seventh before falling in the ninth. It's the first time in 17 starts that Harvey has been charged with more than three runs. The only time in his major league career that it happened was in a loss to the Padres last Aug. 5.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Matt Harvey allowed two runs in 7 1/3 innings Friday to beat the Cubs and move to 5-0.

Both runs were earned because Alfonso Soriano was credited with an infield single on his grounder in the first. In reality, that ball should have been an out, which probably would have resulted in just one run scoring in the frame. Harvey ended up striking out six and walking none today. Oddly enough, all six of those strikeouts ended innings.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Mets VP of player development and amateur scouting Paul DePodesta hasn't dismissed the possibility that Matt Harvey could eventually face an innings limit.

Harvey could become a victim of his own success, as he's already at 56 1/3 innings this season, which puts him on pace for 232 1/3 innings. The 24-year-old threw 169 1/3 innings last season between the majors and minors, so it's unlikely that a 60-inning jump will be in his future. Still, Harvey has no firm cap and could have a longer leash if he continues to be efficient. He at least appears on track to throw 200 innings, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to panic. But the Mets could be cautious with him down the stretch.

Matt Harvey pitched well again but was left with a no-decision Sunday, giving up two runs over seven innings in a loss to the Pirates.

Harvey struck out only four, but he also allowed just five hits with a couple walks mixed in. After winning his first four starts of the season, Harvey has now been stuck with four straight no-decisions despite a 1.98 ERA over that stretch. He'll try to get back into the win column next weekend against the Cubs.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Matt Harvey allowed just one hit while striking out 12 on Tuesday, but he took a no-decision as the Mets beat the White Sox 1-0 in 10 innings.

No-decisions don't come much more brutally than the one Harvey took Tuesday. The right-hander was electric, fanning 12 batters and taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Harvey also showed impeccable control, allowing no walks in the outing. Harvey is no longer eligible for Rookie of the Year votes, but that's child's play -- he looks like a Cy Young contender at this point. Harvey will face the Pirates on Sunday in his next start.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Matt Harvey allowed three runs in six innings but took a no-decision as the Mets defeated the Dodgers in 10 innings on Wednesday.

After four straight victories to start the season, Harvey owners can no longer claim that all he does is win. But the 24-year-old righty was still strong in the outing, fanning seven batters while allowing just four hits and a walk. Harvey's numbers on the year are still a video game-like 1.54 ERA and 0.69 WHIP. He'll have a great chance to get back in the win column Monday against the Marlins.
