Saturday afternoon in Flushing the Met power surge continued as the Mets hit 3 long balls as they beat the Diamondbacks 4-2. The Dbacks got off to a quick start off Matt Harvey. In the top of the 1^st A.J. Pollack walked and then came around on a two run homer by David Peralta, his 8^th on the year and it was 2-0 Arizona. It stayed that way until the bottom of the 5^th when the Mets came roaring back.  Lucas Duda connected for a long opposite fielder homer, his 12^th on the year and 2^nd in two days to cut it to 2-1. Then after a walk to Eric Campbell, The Dark Knight himself connected on his first ML home run to give the Mets the lead 3-2.  In the 6^th the Mets continued to flex their muscles as Ruben Tejada greeted Corbin with a solo homer, his 2^nd on the year and 9^th career to make it 4-2.  Harvey earns the win going 7 strong. He allowed just 5 hits 2 runs (earned) he walked 4 and struck out 9. He improves to 8-6. Corbin takes the loss falling to 1-1. Bobby Parnell pitched the 8^th inning. Jeurys Familia pitched the 9^th for this 26^th save.  The Mets only managed 4 hits on the day. 3 of them dingers, the other an opposite field single by Michael Cuddyer.
