Overview

  • Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo each hit two-run homers off Mets starter Clay Holmes, providing all the offense Pittsburgh needed.
  • Five Pirates pitchers combined for a six-hit shutout, securing the team’s fourth win in their last 17 games.
  • Clay Holmes, who had allowed just one home run all season before this game, gave up two in six innings, surrendering four runs on seven hits.
  • Rainy conditions delayed the game’s start by 15 minutes and impacted playing conditions, with several disputed ball-strike calls adding to the tension.
  • The Mets, now 28-16, turn their focus to a Subway Series against the Yankees, while the Pirates head to Philadelphia after a day off.
