NL manager Bruce Bochy names Matt Harvey as the National League’s starter. The 24 year-old rookie right-hander, who becomes the first Mets pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Dwight Gooden got the nod in 1988, will be the sixth hurler to start the Mid-Summer Classic in his home ballpark when he faces the American League lineup tomorrow at Citi Field.
