From Last Night:

• Matt Harvey takes a perfect game into the 7th, loses it on an infield single, and winds up striking out 12, walking none over 9 innings – but the Mets needed 10 innings to beat the White Sox 1-0
• J.A. Happ takes a line drive off the side of his head, taken off the field on a stretcher (condition unknown at press time)
• The Reds get two homers in the 9th to walk off on Kimbrel

What I’m Watching Today:

• Felix Hernandez is on the hill in Pittsburgh, but so is the quite frontman AJ Burnett (1230p Eastern)
• Matt Moore faces the Jays (7p Eastern)
• Clayton Kershaw welcomes the Dbacks to Chavez Ravine (10p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• Is Happ going to be alright?

Matt Harvey (4-0. 49.1 IP, 1.28 ERA, 1.92 FIP, 1.9 WAR) did it again. You may remember he made the inaugural Appointment Television rankings and he showed why on Tuesday. He retired the first 20 hitters he faced, until he allowed a two out infield hit in the 7th inning, and then went right back to dominating and finished the night with 12 strikeouts, 0 walks, 1 hit, and 0 runs in 9 innings of work. His team couldn’t muster a run until the 10th, so he didn’t get a win, but he was eye-popping fantastic. Granted, he faced the league’s second worst offense in the White Sox, but that kind of domination is difficult in any setting. I’ve been buying Harvey for a while, as regular readers will note, but this is just getting out of hand. In 17 ML starts, he’s allowed 3 or more earned runs just three time. He’s allowed more than 5 hits just four times. The 24 year old righty is certainly must watch TV, but he’s closing in on bona fide ace status. Here are the names he shares the top 9 of the pitcher WAR leaderboard with: Sanchez, Buchholz, Verlander, Darvish, Wainwright, Hernandez, Scherzer, Shields. That’s the company he’s keeping.
