On May 7, 2013, At Citi Field The legend of 24 year old Matt Harvey keeps growing. The New York Mets’ sophomore starter is perfect against the Chicago White Sox before allowing a two-out single to Alex Rios in the 7th. He is removed after allowing only that hit through 9 innings, but with the game still scoreless, having fanned a career-high 12 opponents. Pinch-hitter Mike Baxter lines an RBI single off Nate Jones in the 10th for a 1 – 0 Mets victory, credited to reliever Bobby Parnell. It is the second time Harvey has taken a no-hitter into the 7th inning this year and he is 4-0 with a 1.28 ERA. It is just the third game in history in which a team allows only one baserunner in an extra-inning game according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Harvey adds to his growing legend when he starts the game with a bloody nose, and continues to pitch despite the blood oozing on to his face.
