Tales of the Duck Knight: gritty Matt Harvey avoids the meltdown

Welcome to Crosley Field, the day after another Seaver win which means it’s HARVEY DAY!

Matt had a rough start and it seemed like he would melt down.  The Tigers started with ywo bloop hits and there were two men on just three pitches in!

And then this…


But the Tigers held the runner at third!    Bases loaded none out.   TDKbattled and minimized the damage, giving up just the one run.

Then, Matt settled in.  The rest of the way, the Real Deal grabbed the controller and handed in a typical MH 2020 start –  6 innings, one run,  ten K’s and a ND

Ducks win 4-2!   Ducks are 36-26 5.5 on this June 2nd.

AROUND THE LEAGUE:  The Mets are  20-41 and 18 back in this lost season.

Virtually Vulgar Pete Alonso has been hot baby!   .280 5 and 15 in 107AB.  Compartively, Dom Smith is 4 and 12 .258 in 97 AB

ALL STAR VOTING:  No Mets to be seen on ASG voting.  Tom Seaver is definitely a leading candidate to start the game for the AL.
