Harvey suspended; Stanton, Marlins beat Mets

Giancarlo Stanton was surprised to see someone besides Matt Harvey on the mound for the New York Mets. Not that the Miami slugger let a last-minute pitching change affect his success at Citi Field.

Shortly after Harvey was suspended by the Mets and scratched from his start, Stanton hit a pair of monstrous home runs off fill-in Adam Wilk to lead the Marlins to a 7-0 victory Sunday.

Harvey was penalized three days without pay for an undisclosed violation of team rules. The Marlins learned of the move at 11:45 a.m. and had little to no time to prepare for the replacement.

“Nothing about him before today,” Stanton said. “Just saw a little bit of film and some tendencies, but that’s really about it.”

Wilk (0-1) was brought up from TripleA Las Vegas and arrived at the ballpark around 8:45 a.m. It was his first appearance in the majors since pitching one game for the Angels in 2015 — before that, his previous time in the big leagues was 2012 with Detroit.

The 29-year-old lefty was no match for the prodigious power of Stanton, whose 20 home runs at Citi Field are the most at any visiting ballpark by a player since 2011. Wilk allowed six runs and eight hits in 3 innings.

Tommy Pham hit two homers, including a two-run drive in the 14th inning, and St. Louis recovered after blowing a four-run lead to beat Atlanta and complete a three-game sweep.

Eric Thames broke out of his slump with a home run and three hits, sending Milwaukee to a victory over Pittsburgh.

Sandy Leon hit a pair of two-run homers, Chris Sale struck out 10 and Boston romped out of town as it was fueled by a season-high five homers and finished with a 10-run ninth.
