Mets over Rangers

Lucas Duda hit a two-run homer off Yu Darvish, and the Mets opened a 10-game homestand with their second victory in nine games.

An angry Niese left in the first with a bruised lower back after he was hit by Alex Rios’ line drive.

Star third baseman David Wright missed his seventh straight game with a sore left shoulder, but fill-in Eric Campbell had three hits and an RBI for New York.

Shin-Soo Choo hit a leadoff homer, and Adrian Beltre also went deep for the Rangers, who have dropped six in a row and 14 of 16.

Bobby Abreu drew a leadoff walk from Aaron Poreda (2-1) in the eighth and Campbell singled off Jason Frasor with one out before d’Arnaud sent a drive up the alley in right-center.

Brought back to the big leagues, he is hitting .303 with six RBI in nine games since he was recalled.

Choo hit his 13th career leadoff homer, second this season, on Niese’s third pitch.

Moments later, Rios’ drive nailed Niese on the left side of his lower back.
