However, whether it was because he was stinging from a poor performance or because he simply hates the idea, Harvey seemed to reject the possibility out of hand, saying, "I'm a starting pitcher".
New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard pitches against the Milwaukee Brewers during the first inning at Citi Field. The Mets are leading an NL East that's much deeper than it was a year ago, and Harvey is getting hit around (40.0 percent hard-hit rate entering Thursday, per Fangraphs) as he struggles to pitch with diminished velocity.
Harvey at least took pressure off the Mets' bullpen by making it through six innings. All six runs came in the first 2 1/3 innings, so he did bear down to last six innings, his longest outing since May 2017, covering a stretch of 12 consecutive starts.
NY scored three times in the eighth against reliever Lucas Sims. He allowed only one run on two hits, one of them a solo homer from third baseman Todd Frazier, and struck out eight.
"That last three innings I think I was able to break through that mental block I was feeling every time I went out there", he said. Sims' bases-loaded walk to pinch-hitter Brandon Nimmo forced in a run.
The Mets managed little against Matt Wisler, who was called up on short notice after scheduled starter Anibal Sanchez was hurt Wednesday.
Harvey did retire 11 of the last 12 batters he faced Thursday.
Matt Harvey is attempting to salvage his once promising career
Sure, get the fallen ace out of the Mets' starting rotation as soon as possible. "It just so happens a starter is coming back and somebody is going to the pen", Callaway said. Harvey (0-2) surrendered three runs in the first - including a two-run homer to Kurt Suzuki - and three more in the third. His previous career high was three RBIs.
The Braves lead the National League with 104 runs scored and are four games over.500 for the first time since April 2015. Gonzalez singled in the ninth and was the only Met with a multi-hit game.
NY dropped its first road game of the season (6-1).
The Mets (13-5) continue their four-game series with the Braves (11-7) at SunTrust Park on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. on SNY.
Meanwhile, the Braves are 0-4 in the last four during game two of a series and 1-6 in Newcomb's last seven starts in game two of a series.
Newcomb made his major league debut against the Mets in June and will be facing them for the fourth time after going 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA versus NY in 2017.
