Harvey, banged-up Mets hold off Marlins 7-6 for 8th straight (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

Matt Harvey won his third straight start to begin his comeback season and the banged-up New York Mets, despite losing two important players to injuries, held off the Miami Marlins 7-6 Sunday for their eighth consecutive victory. Ruben Tejada had a three-run double and catcher Travis d'Arnaud singled twice in a seven-run fourth inning. After the Marlins trimmed a six-run deficit to 7-6, Jeurys Familia retired Christian Yelich and Giancarlo Stanton on grounders with a runner at second for his sixth save. Already missing captain David Wright (hamstring) and right-hander Zack Wheeler (elbow surgery), the Mets have matched the best start in franchise history at 10-3.
