Matt Harvey goes for the Mets in this ESPN Game of the Week and in his last start he went six innings and gave up two earned runs in a 9-3 win over the San Diego Padres. New York had lost Harvey’s previous six starts and in that span he went 26 innings and gave up 24 runs. He has had control issues lately giving up 13 walks in his last three starts.

</p>
<p>
Tyler Glasnow gets the call for the Pirates tonight and in his last outing he was pretty solid going six innings and giving up two earned runs, but the bullpen did not help him out in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Pirates have lost three of his last four starts, but in his last two starts he has given up two earned runs in each. In his previous two starts Glasnow was not as sharp totaling eight innings and giving up 10 earned runs. This is his first career start against the Mets and this start is only the 10th of his career.
