Mets at Indians Saturday, April 16th, 2016

CLEVELAND (AP) Indians manager Terry Francona was impressed watching New York Mets ace Matt Harvey mow down his team in the early going Saturday.

''That guy was carving us up for four innings,'' Francona said.

Harvey retired his first 13 batters but things quickly changed in the fifth, and Cleveland beat New York 7-5 in handing Harvey his third straight loss to begin the season.

Cleveland scored twice in the fifth to take a 2-1 lead and added three runs in the sixth. Harvey (0-3) was charged with five runs in 5 2/3 innings.

''Early on, I was able to use pretty much every pitch,'' he said.
