The Pittsburgh Pirates put together a good all-around performance as they shutout the New York Mets, 4-0 at Citi Field.
The Pirates avoid the sweep vs. the Mets, as they lost 4-3 on a walk-off in nine innings on May 12 and 2-1 on May 13. They improve to 15-29 and 6-16 on the road, while the Mets dropped to 28-16 overall and 17-5 at home.
Pittsburgh also ends a seven-game losing streak on the road, with their last road victory coming in a 3-0 win on April 25 vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium.
Pirates shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled with two out in the top of the second inning and then first baseman Matt Gorski hit a sweeper on the seventh pitch at-bat against Mets’ Clay Holmes into the left field seats for a two-run home run with heavy rain coming down. This marked Gorski’s second home run in his rookie season, as he hit a solo home run in his first at-bat against the Los Angeles Angels on April 24.
The Pirates will have the day off on Thursday, (May 15) before they face the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park this weekend, May 16-18.
