| Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Steve Pearce and Jack Wilson got to the Mets' bullpen in the eighth, combining to knock in three runs in the inning to lift the Pirates to a 5-2 win over New York in the finale of a four-game set in Pittsburgh. Wilson finished the game 2-for-4 with two RBI while Adam LaRoche contributed his 16th homer of the season, a two-run shot to help the Pirates avoid a sweep and snap a four-game skid. Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm went seven strong innings, giving up two runs on five hits. The Pirates' best starter this season, Maholm struck out four and walked three in his third consecutive quality start. Sean Burnett (1-1) earned the win after getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. John Grabow earned his fourth save of the season, working around two walks to pitch a scoreless ninth. John Maine didn't factor into the decision despite a good outing. The Mets' righty threw five shutout innings on only two hits, striking out three and walking four. The bullpen didn't fare as well, giving up all five runs on seven hits in four innings. Pedro Feliciano (2-3) took the loss after giving up a run in only one-third of an inning. Nick Evans went 2-for-3 with two doubles for New York, while Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado knocked in a run each in the loss. |
