Harvey was throwing hard, 97 mph, but he wasn't getting big strikeout totals. He had just three through seven innings, but he also limited Miami to four hits. Miami was able to break through against Harvey in the fifth inning. Derek Dietrich doubled and scored on J.T. Realmuto's single to center.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Career day for Jose: Strikeouts were coming at a rapid pace for Fernandez. The 23-year-old matched his career high with 14 strikeouts, done three times in his career, the last coming on April 22, 2014, against Atlanta. Miami's ace recorded his fifth double-digit strikeout game of the season and the 14th of his career. That's a club record, passing the 13 Ricky Nolasco previously set. Fernandez relied heavily on his breaking pitches to record strikeouts. Of his 14 strikeouts, 12 were on sliders.
Harvey solid in losing effort: Though Harvey took his eighth loss in 12 starts, that had far more to do with Fernandez's performance than his own. Again looking far more like his old self than the version who owned a 6.08 ERA as recently as two starts ago, Harvey retired five straight Marlins to start the game and eight straight from the second through fifth innings.

Dietrich delivers double: Dietrich's single with two outs in the second inning was the only baserunner the Mets' right-hander had allowed entering the sixth. With one out, Dietrich doubled off Harvey to deep right-center. It set up Realmuto's single to center, which put Miami on the board as Dietrich raced home. Dietrich entered the game 2-for-9 against Harvey with five strikeouts.

Take a seat: The Mets did not put multiple runners on base simultaneously until the seventh inning, when Michael Conforto and James Loney hit consecutive two-out singles. But on his 100th pitch of the afternoon, Fernandez threw a breaking ball that Wilmer Flores flailed at well out of the zone, stranding both runners to keep his scoreless streak intact.
