VIDEO: Volquez swings at Harvey fastball after it's already caught

Matt Harvey saved his best performance of the season for his team's most important game of the year.

The New York Mets right-hander is dominating the Kansas City Royals midway through Game 5, striking out nine and issuing just one walk over six scoreless frames.

Harvey's sharp-breaking slider and high-90s fastball overmatched Royals hitters, particularly pitcher Edinson Volquez, who resorted to jokingly swinging well late of this 97-mph four-seamer to end the fifth:

Volquez, incidentally, has one of just three Royals hits off Harvey through six innings, becoming the first American League pitcher in five years to collect a hit in the World Series.
