The Dark Knight has risen at the World Baseball Classic.
Former Mets All-Star Matt Harvey, who has tried to rebuild his MLB career in recent years by bouncing around to a handful of other teams, allowed one run on two hits across four innings on Sunday in Team Italy’s 7-1 victory over the Netherlands, whose lineup features Xander Bogaerts, Jurickson Profar, Didi Gregorius and Jonathan Schoop.
It’s the ninth-best ERA among World Baseball Classic pitchers who have started at least one game, and Harvey holds the best number among pitchers who have made two starts since the tournament began March 7. “This was an unbelievable win for us here, and obviously, it was incredible for me to get the ball the first game. And I couldn’t be more proud of put up zeros for the team.”
