Mets end Matt Harvey-filled day of drama with another win

The crazier things get around the Mets, the better they seem to play.

They won again on Tuesday night, beating an awful Giants team, 6-1, for their fifth win in six games.

The victory got the Mets back to .500 (16-16) for the first time since April 20 — and Zack Wheeler delivered his best outing since returning from 2015 Tommy John surgery.

On a day when Matt Harvey returned from his three-game suspension and apologized to everyone in Queens other than the chop-shop owners across from Citi Field for the behavior that led to him being banned, the Mets exploded for four runs in the first inning off Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija.
