SAN DIEGO -- Powered by Yoenis Cespedes' third homer in four games, Matt Harvey's first double-digit strikeout effort of the season and a magic act from reliever Antonio Bastardo, the Mets moved into sole possession of first place Sunday with a 4-3 win over the Padres.
Harvey gave the Mets six innings of two-run ball, also doubling high off Petco Park's center-field fence to spark a run-scoring rally in the sixth. The only Met to homer on this afternoon was Cespedes, whose third in four games gave him the National League lead with 30 RBIs.
