NY Post: "Facing a three-game losing streak, and a Nationals team that dominated them last year, the Mets turned to Matt Harvey to play stopper Friday. Naturally, the Dark Knight delivered."

Matt Harvey (W,5-0) beats Max Scherzer (L,1-3) as Mets get a combined shutout.  Harvey 7 innings, no runs, 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks. Alex Torres 1/3 inning, no runs, 1 hit; Jeurys Familia (S,10) 1.2 innings, no runs, no hits, 2 Ks;

ESPN.com: Harvey outduels Scherzer; Mets break away from Nationals 4-0. “Cuddyer homered early as the Mets stopped their longest losing streak of the year at three. Daniel Murphy added a three-run double in the eighth inning when left fielder Jayson Werth mistakenly broke in and slipped trying to recover. On this night, even when Harvey (5-0) said he didn't have his best stuff, that was more than enough.”
