Mets Morning News: Harvey struggles in Mets' loss, is not a fan of extra rest

Meet the Mets

The Mets lost to the Dodgers in Los Angeles last night. Zack Greinke held them scoreless for a while, but Matt Harvey gave up a few runs in his start, and the Mets' comeback fell a bit short as they scored twice in the eighth and once in the ninth to end up losing 4-3. Harvey is not a fan of the six-man rotation.

Around the NL East

The Nationals won, widening their division lead to four-and-a-half games over the Mets. Stephen Strasburg left the game with an injury, though, so it wasn't a perfect day for Washington.
