Watch: Matt Harvey gives Mets lead with his first career home run

Matt Harvey hit his first career home run on Saturday against the Diamondbacks to give the Mets a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The two-run shot came off Arizona starter Patrick Corbin and was the second home run of the inning for New York, which went on to win the game 4-2.

The pitcher's inaugural homer came during his 110th at-bat in the major leagues, and was almost undone by a challenge by Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta, who claimed a fan interfered and pulled the ball over the fence. The review center disagreed and found the ball had already cleared the wall when the fan grabbed it.
