MIAMI — Robinson Cano’s summer slumber took a hiatus Saturday night so he could enjoy a Fish dinner.

He deposited a curveball thrown by the Marlins’ Nick Anderson into the right-field upper deck, allowing the Mets second baseman to show off his almost forgotten home-run trot.

Finally.

With Cano’s go-ahead blast in the eighth inning as the difference, the Mets snapped a two-game skid with a 4-2 victory at Marlins Park.

Cano’s homerless drought had reached 71 at-bats, dating to June 17.
