Pirates jump on Matt Harvey right from the start as Andrew McCutchen slams a 2-run homer in the 1st and Pedro Alvarez adds a solo shot in the 2nd,  Pirates score 4 off Harvey in the 4th taking a 7-1 lead. 

Mike Puma NY Post: Harvey has his worst outing ever as Mets pounded by Pirates. "Harvey’s four-inning stint was the shortest of his career [as of 5/22/15] and the seven earned runs allowed were a career-worst. The right-hander allowed six hits — two of them homers — walked two and threw two wild pitches. He departed after 65 pitches."





Despite the loss, the Mets don't lose any ground to the 1st Place Nationals as they fall 8-1 to the Phillies.

Liked Ruben Tejada. Shame his career was derailed, by what I thought was a dirty play.
