Instant Replay: Giants hammer Harvey, beat Mets 8-5

NEW YORK — The Dark Knight? Against a suddenly power-packed Giants lineup, Matt Harvey was more like George Clooney’s version in “Batman & Robin.”

A night after Chris Heston no-hit the Mets, the Giants hammered Harvey and won 8-5 behind three homers at spacious Citi Field. Harvey tied a career-high by allowing seven earned runs in six innings and the Giants became the first team to hit three homers in one game off the hard-throwing right-hander.

Joe Panik got it started, Brandon Belt hit a go-ahead two-run blast and Justin Maxwell provided the Bane backbreaker as the Giants pulled away with five runs in the sixth.
