The Mets believe they’ve pinpointed the root of Harvey’s issues — a mechanical flaw that flares up as he pitches deeper into games. What’s also clear is that batters are slashing .241/.292/.373 the first time they face Harvey, .301/.326/.518 the second time and .509/.563/.764 the third. So if Harvey corrects the flaw and those trends persist, the Mets may want to investigate his struggles more deeply.

As America remembers the military’s sacrifices on Memorial Day, a date of celebration is on the calendar for the Fourth of July Weekend, and the venue for it is very much on track. Fort Bragg will play host to the Braves and Marlins at a new stadium on July 3.

The Kansas City Royals have accomplished so much the last two seasons that it’s hard to be blown away by anything they do anymore. Okay, check that. They just did.
