CHICAGO - Matt Harvey admits there were some nerves before Friday's start against the Chicago Cubs.

He knew he was claimed on waivers and was unsure of his future. Would he make his start? Would he be traded to the Milwaukee Brewers?

The only place he moved was from the dugout to the mound.

Nobody told Harvey he was officially staying with the Cincinnati Reds except for a few excited teammates.
