ESPN.com: Harvey, Parnell pitch Mets to 3-2 win over BlueJays. “Matt Harvey returned to form with seven shutout innings and an RBI double, Bobby Parnell earned a five-out save and the Mets beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 Tuesday night…Wilmer Flores and Ruben Tejada each knocked in a run and scored another to help the Mets build a 3-0 cushion. Harvey (7-4), who was 1-3 with a 7.20 ERA in his previous four starts, allowed four hits against the best offense in baseball and gave a fired-up fist pump after tossing a perfect seventh.

The Save turned out to be the last in Bobby Parnell's MLB Career.

NY Post: "Harvey smashed an RBI double in the second that gave the Mets their second run. After Ruben Tejada’s RBI single had given the Mets a 1-0 lead, Dilson Herrera hit into a double play that appeared to quash the inning, but Harvey followed with a shot to center that brought in a run."

The Washington Nationals kept pace with the Mets beating Tamp Bay 16-4.
