Harvey Returns With 2 Perfect Innings, Mets Beat Tigers 5-4
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets starter Matt Harvey was impressive in his first outing in more than 18 months, pitching two perfect innings as the New York Mets beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 Friday.
Harvey, who missed all of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, struck out three. The 25-year-old All-Star hit 99 mph with his fastball.
Tigers starter David Price threw two hitless innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit Daniel Murphy on the right hand with a fastball. Murphy left for precautionary X-rays.
Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias exited with a bruised shin. He missed all of last season with stress fractures in both legs.
Matt Reynolds hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth to win it for the Mets.
