The Mets won yesterday’s matchup, 2-1, off a Brett Baty homer in the 7th inning. New York won both meetings with Pittsburgh by one run (4-3 and 2-1). The Pirates are 2-3 in the last five games, but 2-10 over the previous 12 compared to the 3-0 run the Mets are on and 5-1 in the past six games.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are struggling, and fans are growing frustrated from wasting Paul Skenes. MLB insider Jeff Passan believes the team should trade him now.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets won't begin their series finale on time at Citi Field. The Mets announced that the game will start in a rain delay, pushing the game back 15 minutes further, from 7:10 p.
