Matt Harvey has been dealing tonight. He’s also been showing off his toughness.
In the sixth inning, Harvey took a line drive right in the shoulder off the bat of Dexter Fowler. The ball bounced straight up, hitting him in the back before landing on the mound. Without missing a beat, Harvey recovered the ball and threw Fowler out at first to keep the bases clear.
Holy smokes. Harvey got smoked. Still got the out.
Harvey waved off trainers and continued, finishing the inning without surrendering a hit. Harvey gave up a run in the fifth, but otherwise has been lights-out in Game One.
