Pastime.com: According
to the Elias Sports Bureau, Matt Harvey becomes the first pitcher in modern
major league history to win his first four games while giving up less than a
total of ten hits. The 24 year-old Mets right-hander easily outduels his mound
opponent, Washington's former phenom, Stephen Strasburg, prompting the Citi
Field crowd to start chanting, "Har-vee's be-tter, "Har-vee's
be-tter."

National Pastime.com: Nolan Ryan makes quick work of the Dodgers when he strikes out the side on nine pitches in the top of the third inning of the Mets' 3-2 loss at Shea Stadium. The 21 year-old New York fireballer, who will also accomplish the feat with the Angels in 1972, strikes out 11 batters in 7.1 frames, including Claude Osteen, Wes Parker, and Zoilo Versalles, the victims of his immaculate inning.
Ryan
left the game in the 8th after giving up a one out single with the
game tied at 1-1. Bill Short
and Cal
Koonce each allowed a run to score but Ryan was tagged with the loss. Ron Swoboda
homered to lead off the 9th but the next three Mets batters made out
1-2-3 to end the game.

Nice tweak to these posts. Harvey was sensational indeed - briefly. Easy to forget.
Hard luck loss by Ryan in 1968. Mets Pitchers have had so many of those over the years.
I remember that 2005 game vs the Phillies. It briefly lead me to believe that the 2005 Mets would be a stronger offensive club than they wound up being
