NEW YORK -- Bruce Bochy sat in the visiting manager's office at Citi Field and digested Wednesday night's game even as he sat surrounded by reminders -- in the form of a stack of New York tabloid newspapers on his desk -- of San Francisco Giants rookie right-hander Chris Heston's no-hitter Tuesday night.

The Giants likely won't be seeking out newspapers as souvenirs of Wednesday's victory, even if it was as fulfilling in its own way as Tuesday's dramatic contest.

First baseman Brandon Belt hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer during a five-run sixth inning against New York Mets ace Matt Harvey, and the Giants pounded out 14 hits overall in a come-from-behind, 8-5 win.

The Giants had six extra-base hits, including three homers, a night after delivering 10 singles among their 13 hits in support of Heston, who struck out 11 and walked none in the 17th no-hitter in franchise history.

"Whatever it takes -- that's kind of an unofficial motto we have sometimes," Belt said. "It's kind of the way we play baseball."

The Giants (34-26) won for the fourth time in their past five games, a stretch in which they have outscored the opposition 29-20. San Francisco scored just 28 runs in eight games from May 27-June 3.

"It's a lot of fun to go to the park every night knowing those guys are playing with some confidence and having some really nice at-bats, regardless of who is on the mound," said right-hander Tim Hudson, who earned his 218th career win, most among active players, despite allowing four runs in five-plus innings. "They really did pick me up tonight, for sure."

The Giants staked Hudson to a 2-0 lead before he even took the mound thanks to a two-run homer by second baseman Joe Panik, but the Mets tied the score in the bottom of the first on a two-run single by shortstop Wilmer Flores.

New York got RBI singles by third baseman Eric Campbell in the fourth and first baseman Lucas Duda in the fifth to take a 4-2 lead into the sixth.

That normally would be enough for the fireballing Harvey, whose sliders and changeups were clocked in the 89-91 mph range -- the same speed as Heston's fastballs on Tuesday.

However, the Giants went down in order just once in the first five innings against Harvey before busting out in the sixth. Panik singled leading off the inning, and center fielder Angel Pagan walked before catcher Buster Posey laced a game-tying, two-run double to right.

Belt followed four pitches later with his eighth homer of the season. Right fielder Justin Maxwell hit a solo homer later in the inning for the Giants, who scored in the ninth via another RBI double by Posey.

"It was a great win," Bochy said. "I mean, to get down off one of the better pitchers in the game, with the stuff that Harvey was throwing -- he made a couple mistakes we took advantage of, but it's pretty electric stuff they had to go against. They found a way to get it done."

Left fielder Nori Aoki tied a career-high with four hits while Panik had three hits for the Giants.

"I think it helps knowing that there's not one single person in this lineup that thinks they have to carry the load," Belt said. "You know if you don't get the job done, somebody behind you will."

Hudson (4-5) allowed eight hits and two walks while striking out one. Right-hander Santiago Casilla, the Giants' sixth pitcher, earned his 18th save with a perfect ninth.

Center fielder Juan Lagares had two hits, including an RBI triple in the eighth inning, but the Mets (31-29) still lost for the sixth time in eight games. New York fell a half-game behind the first-place Washington Nationals in the NL East.

Flores and right fielder Curtis Granderson also had two hits as New York dropped to 20-3 when scoring at least five runs.

Harvey (6-4) allowed a career-high-tying seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out t
