A Pitcher's Duel At Citi Field
Matt Harvey (8 IP, 1 R, 0 BB, 10 SO) and Hiroki Kuroda (7 IP, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 SO) had a classic pitcher's duel in New York on Tuesday. It was only the second game in the major leagues in the modern era (1900 to date) in which each starter went at least seven innings, allowed no more than one run, didn't walk a batter and averaged at least one strikeout per inning. The other such duel was on Aug. 15, 1976 at Shea Stadium when Jerry Koosman shut out the Big Red Machine while recording 11 strikeouts. His opposing number in that game was Gary Nolan, who allowed one run while fanning seven batters in seven innings.

- Five of Kuroda's seven strikeouts were with his splitter, his most strikeouts with the pitch in a game this season.
- The Mets swung at 11 of Kuroda's 17 splitters out of the zone (65 percent), the highest percentage by any team against Kuroda this season. Four of Kuroda's five splitter strikeouts came on pitches out of the zone. -
