The Mets power surge over the last month is no fluke. As the Mets continue to gain separation from the Nationals in the NL East standings, they also continue to hit for a ton of power. The influence of Yoenis Cespedes has helped, as has the return of David Wright, and the hitting of Curtis Granderson.

How much power have the Mets been hitting for this month? We go to Buster Olney for that...

So, the Mets have set a franchise record for homers in a month this month with 43? Do you remember when all the Mets had was pitching? And they couldn't hit a lick?

I've forgotten that time, as have the rest of the pitchers that used to dominate the Mets offense.

The Mets had three more home runs last night in an extra-innings win against the Phillies.

Remember: You can hear Buster Olney every Thursday on "Armen and Levack," heard weekdays from 3-7 pm.
