NEW YORK -- Will the Dark Knight rise to the occasion after considerable struggles this season?
Matt Harvey (3-5, 4.93 ERA) opposes right-hander Stephen Strasburg (6-0, 2.95) in Thursday’s 7:10 p.m. ET series finale between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals at Citi Field.
Harvey allowed five runs on 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings at Colorado on Friday. The lack of success has been wearing on him.
“There’s a part of his delivery that needs to get fixed, needs to be tweaked --something that he’s done in the past that he’s not doing now,” manager Terry Collins said.
