\n It was at least a start. Thirteen months after he was last on a big-league mound, Matt Harvey was back.<\/p>\n

His brief outing wasn\u2019t the Dark Knight of old. He allowed three runs over three innings in his Royals debut against the Reds, a 5-0 defeat at Kauffman Stadium. But it wasn\u2019t a disaster, either.<\/p>\n

The former Mets right-hander yielded home runs to Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker, while striking out four and walking two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was kind of a surreal moment,\u201d Harvey told MLB.com. \u201cA lot of different nerves that I haven\u2019t felt in a while. In my mind it was just two bad pitches that home run hitters are not going to miss. I think fine-tuning the offspeed is the next thing to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvey flopped with the Angels last year, posting a 7.09 ERA in 12 starts before getting released on July 21. He signed a minor-league deal with the A\u2019s, but never got called up. The 31-year-old opted for free agency. In July, he agreed to a minor-league deal with the Royals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really, really impressed,\u201d Royals manager Mike Matheny told reporters following the game<\/a>. \u201cIt was better than even what I expected or from what I saw on video, seeing it live, I\u2019m really happ<\/a>y with how the ball was jumping out of his hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvey\u2019s velocity, an issue since he returned from Tommy John surgery in 2015, was better from last year, with an average fastball of 93.5 mph. He hit 95.5 on the gun in the first inning and did produce seven swings-and-misses, though he was down to 91 by his final hitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fastball has been coming out pretty good at the alternate site,\u201d Harvey said. \u201cI spent a lot of time trying to throw that down in the zone. I was working the corners pretty well. I was pretty happy with that. It\u2019s in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvey was limited to 54 pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if Matt realizes how good his fastball is right now,\u201d Matheny said. \u201cHitters need to see how good that fastball is, and then his breaking stuff will be that much better.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
