NEW YORK -- For the second day in a row, the Pirates and Mets found themselves in extra innings at Citi Field. But this time, Pittsburgh won the game, 4-3, in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon. It was the Bucs’ first victory of the season.
It looked like it was going to be another bad day for the Pirates with runners in scoring position. Prior to the 10th, they were 1-for-11, but with the score tied at 2 and Mets left-hander Richard Lovelady on the mound, Ryan O’Hearn singled to left field, driving in automatic runner Bryan Reynolds.
Four batters later, Pittsburgh added to the lead when Henry Davis singled to right-center field, scoring pinch runner Billy Cook.
Right-hander José Urquidy picked up his first save of the season by holding off the Mets in the bottom of the 10th.
