The Pirates got a big hit from first baseman Blaise Lopez. Facing New York pitcher Tom Linarelli in the bottom of the sixth, Lopez pounded a 2-run double to left. His 33rd double of the season put the Pirates ahead, 4-1.

"Jim was throwing strikes, locating well," said Pittsburgh manager Matt Smith.

The Mets have now dropped 6 straight.
