(The Sports Xchange) - Matt Harvey threw eight splendid innings of four-hit ball on Tuesday as the Mets completed a 4-0 victory over the Rockies.

Harvey missed all of 2014 recovering from Tommy John surgery and has been a slightly different pitcher this season.

While he can still dial his fastball into the upper 90s, Harvey has been willing to throw more off-speed stuff in order to force batters to put the ball in play so that he pitch deeper into games.
