Mets vs. White Sox Game 50 Recap

The New York defeated the Chicago White Sox 1-0 this afternoon to win the first game of the series to snap their two game losing streak and improve their record to 29-21. RHP Matt Harvey had a bounce back outing today pitching 7 scoreless innings. He gave up only 2 hits and 1 walk. He had 6 strikeouts. He looked much better and threw as hard as 97 mph on his fastball. He had sharp command of his curveball, changeup and slider. He hasn't had that kind of control in a while, so it was encouraging to see. Hopefully Harvey can build off this start and get back to pitching like the ace the Mets expected him to be. Today was a huge step in the right direction for him. After Harvey was taken off, RHP Addison Reed pitched a scoreless inning. RHP Jeurys Famila pitched a scoreless 9th and picked up his 17th save. 2B Neil Walker delivered the only run of the game with a solo homer, his twelfth homer of the season.
