Harvey cheered by fans, routed in Queens’ return
Matt Harvey was greeted warmly by Mets fans in his return to Citi Field and harshly by New York’s hitters as the Mets beat the Baltimore
Orioles 7-1 Wednesday afternoon.
Harvey pitched against his former team for the first time and allowed Kevin Pillar’s two-run triple in a three-run second inning that carried the Mets to their seventh straight win.
Wearing orange and black instead of blue and orange, Harvey (3-3) gave up a season-high seven runs and eight hits in 4 1⁄3 innings, and his ERA rose from 3.60 to 4.81 as the last-place Orioles lost for the fifth time in six games.
Taijuan Walker (3-1) lowered his ERA to 2.20, allowing one run and four hits over seven innings as part of a five-hitter.
Dominic Smith had three hits and two RBI for the NL East-leading Mets, who completed a twogame sweep that finished a 5-0 homestand. New York is on its longest hot streak since winning eight straight from Aug. 3-10, 2019.
Indians 2, Cubs
1 (10): Amed Rosario’s bases-loaded single with two outs in the 10th inning gave host Cleveland the win over Chicago. Rosario, who drove in Cleveland’s first run with a sixth-inning double, singled to right on a 1-1 pitch from Keegan Thompson, giving the Indians a sweep of the twogame series. Chicago threatened in every inning except the eighth but finished 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position and stranded 15 baserunners.
Joc Pederson drove in the Cubs’ only run with a double in the sixth. Nick Martini was the Cubs’ automatic runner in the 10th against James Karinchak (1-0). Jason Heyward walked, but ldemaro Vargas struck out attempting to bunt. Pederson popped out, and
Eric Sogard took a called third strike.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Tigers 4, Royals 2: Miguel Cabrera drove in two runs and surpassed Omar Vizquel for the most major league hits by a Venezuelan player, leading hostDetroit past slumping Kansas City.
Cabrera’s two RBI singles gave him 2,878, one more than Vizquel, who played his last game in 2012 and was a coach for Cabrera and the Tigers from 2014-17.
Yankees 1, Rays 0: Gerrit
Cole struck out 12 over eight stellar innings, Aaron Hicks had a sacrifice fly and New York won at Tampa Bay amid a coronavirus outbreak that sidelined shortstop Gleyber Torres.
Cole (5-1) scattered four hits and has five starts this season of at least 10 strikeouts and no walks to break Mike Mussina’s singleseason team record set in 2001. He struck out all three batters in his final inning, including Brett Phillips on a 98 mph fastball to end the inning.
COVID-19 protocols impacted the Yankees for the second straight day. Torres was kept out of the starting lineup as a precaution as the number of confirmed positive COVID-19 tests among the team’s coach and support staff reached seven.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Reds 5, Pirates 1 (10):
Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez combined to drive in four runs in the 10th inning as visiting Cincinnati’s bullpen threw 5 1⁄3
hitless innings. Winker singled off reliever Duane Underwood Jr. to lead off the 10th, scoring designated runner Nick Senzel.
Padres 5, Rockies 3 (7): Victor Caratini lined a two-out grand slam in the sixth, powering virusdepleted San Diego over
