Another poor start for Matt Harvey, who has yet to show his 2015 form. He gave up eight hits and six runs in 5.1 innings to the Braves, inducing just eight swings-and-misses out of 100 pitches as he punched out two batters against a team that was second in the NL in strikeouts. His miss rate is down from 27 percent two years ago to 19 percent.
