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.

Baty’s home run in the seventh inning Tuesday was the difference in the Mets’ 2-1 win over the Pirates. It was his fourth long ball in five starts since the club called him up to absorb some of the playing time created by Jesse Winker’s oblique injury.
