Harvey handles Cards, ready for regular season
Harvey K's side in 5th JUPITER, Fla. -- Stretching out to 90 pitches in the Mets' 8-7 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, Matt Harvey declared himself ready for the regular season -- though his first assignment may not come until the Mets' second series of the year.
Harvey said that because the Mets used him against St. Louis, instead of confining him to a Minor League game as they are doing with several of their other pitchers, he assumes he will not face the Cardinals during the team's Opening Series. Instead, Harvey appears lined up to oppose the Phillies in Game 4 or 5 -- a likelihood that manager Mickey Callaway did not dispute.
