David Freese capped a big night with a
walk-off single Friday as the Pittsburgh Pirates broke a two-game losing streak
with a 5-4 win over the visiting New York Mets.
Freese drove in all five Pirates runs,
including a two-run homer.
In the ninth tied 4-4 against Tim Peterson
(2-2), the Mets' seventh pitcher, Josh Harrison had an infield single, Gregory
Polanco singled and Elias Diaz was walked intentionally before Freese lofted
the ball to deep right-center.
Michael Conforto hit a three-run homer for
New York, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.
Asdrubal Cabrera was a late scratch from the
Mets' lineup as he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for right-handed
prospect Franklyn Kilome.
Pittsburgh right-hander Ivan Nova gave up
four runs (three earned) and six hits in five innings, with one strikeout and
three walks.
Felipe Vazquez (4-2) pitched the ninth for
the win.
Mets starter Jason Vargas, who had not
pitched since June 19 because of a right calf injury, allowed three runs and
three hits in 4 1/3 innings, with three strikeouts and three walks.
The Mets took a 3-0 lead in the first.
Brandon Nimmo drew a one-out walk, and Wilmer Flores doubled ahead of
Conforto's three-run shot to right, his 14th homer.
Diaz led off the Pittsburgh second with a
single, and Freese followed with his seventh homer and second in two nights, to
left-center, to close it to 3-2.
After Freese's homer, Josh Bell was slow
getting out of the batter's box on a groundout and left the game because of
left side discomfort.
In the fifth, Jordan Luplow walked for the
Pirates with one out, chasing Vargas. An out later, Polanco reached on an
infield hit. Diaz walked to load the bases, and Freese singled up the middle to
drive in two for a 4-3 Pirates lead.
New York tied it 4-4 in the sixth with an
unearned run. With the bases loaded and one out, Jose Reyes flied out to left.
Conforto scored from third when Luplow wildly overthrew home.
