Rockies left-hander Chris Rusin was hit hard, but ultimately put together a solid pitching line against the Mets on Tuesday. Rusin allowed just one run on eight hits over six innings of work. He walked one and struck out five, but was overmatched by Matt Harvey, who blanked the Rockies for eight innings in the 4-0 Rockies loss.
Rusin (3-5, 4.43) ERA was matching zeroes with Harvey until he allowed a run to cross in the sixth inning.
This was Rusin's first quality start since July 20. He had posted a 7.80 ERA over his previous three starts entering play on Tuesday.
