Fans at Citi Field chanted "Harvey's better!" as Mets right-hander Matt Harvey outpitched Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg on Friday night.
"It was nice," Harvey said, "but we've got a long way to go."
Harvey gave up one run and four hits in seven innings, striking out seven.
Strasburg allowed four runs, two unearned, and five hits in six innings. He fanned six, flinging fastballs in the upper 90s.
