CLEVELAND — The party started early and for awhile appeared as if it might last all night.
Here were the Mets launching shots all over the ballpark and finally resembling a respectable lineup. It could have been manager Terry Collins’ tweak to the batting order, but more likely the Mets were just due.
When it was finished, the Mets had hit four home runs — to triple their season total — leading a 6-5 victory over the Indians at Progressive Field.
Michael Conforto, Alejandro De Aza, Yoenis Cespedes and Neil Walker all went deep for the Mets, and Bartolo Colon kept his team competitive.
