(Class AA Bowie, Md., Baysox)
Harvey, a first-round pick by Baltimore in 2013, made another start on Wednesday in a 7-3 home loss against Richmond (Va.).
He went 2 2/3 innings, allowing five hits, six runs (three earned) with three walks, one strikeout and two hit batters.
Harvey threw strikes on 30 of his 61 pitches and faced 16 batters, falling to 2-2 for the year with an ERA of 6.20 with 20 1/3 innings pitched. He has allowed 27 hits, 19 runs (14 earned) and seven home runs. He has walked eight and struck out 22.
