Mets' Matt Harvey: Loses rain delay-shortened start

Harvey (4-10) pitched just 3.2 innings before seeing his night cut short by a rain delay Tuesday against the Nationals, but still picked up the loss after allowing one run on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts over that time.

Analysis:

While Harvey wasn't very efficient in his time out there, he could've easily avoided the loss had the Mets managed to generate any offense at all against the five Nationals pitchers they faced. It's tough to put too much stock in a 62-pitch outing like this one, but the Dark Knight's 1-6 record in his last nine starts doesn't inspire much confidence. At least he should be well rested when he takes on the Marlins on Monday.
