That's all it took. Cueto responded to the pep talk by striking out six of his last seven batters, then Jay Bruce helped make him a winner by hitting a tiebreaking home run that carried the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 vict...

Instead, each pitch raised more tantalizing questions: Would they ever get a hit, or even a runner? Harvey threw one-hit ball for nine innings in a nearly perfect performance and the New York Mets permitted just one baserunner all game in beating the Wh...

A late-inning substitute, Valdespin hit a grand slam in the 10th as the New York Mets rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 Wednesday to save early sensation Matt Harvey from his first loss of the season.

"I was blowing it foul, but I knew he hit it pretty well," Harvey said. "If it was going anywhere, it was going out." Harvey didn't allow a hit until Morneau sent a slider clanking high off the pole with...
