INSIDE THE MATCHUPS

METS: In his last start, Harvey gave up a two-run homer to Jason Heyward in the first inning but allowed just one hit in the next five innings. But Harvey still suffered the loss in his first start at Citi Field, falling 4-0 to the Braves.

REDS: Bailey has hit a rough patch. His ERA was just 3.53 on July 25, but has ballooned because of the 16 earned runs he has allowed in his past three starts.

STAT SO?

METS: David Wright is one home run away from becoming the third Mets player to reach the 200 homer plateau. The others are Darryl Strawberry (252) and Mike Piazza (220).

REDS: The Reds are 308-260 all-time against the Mets and 6-1 in 2012.
