Evan Meek was the beneficiary of the late onslaught and evened his record at 1-1.Daniel McCutchen was the loser Monday and fell to 1-1.
Chris Snyder homered (3) Monday for the only Pirate dinger.
Pirate Hooks
1) The Pirates starters have been doing their part with 12 consecutive starts of allowing two earned runs or less.
Charlie Morton and James McDonald continued the run against the Mets.
2) Give Morton credit too because he put together a good outing without having his best stuff.
That shows the possible maturation of Morton as the past pitcher would have a seven run outing when not at his best...
3) James McDonald had his curve working and allowed just a run and six hits over six innings,but his best work was getting the final out with runners on in the sixth...
4) Josh Harrison made his MLB debut at third and his single with two outs tied the game.
Harrison is listed at 5'8,but I bet he is closer to 5'6.
Nice to see guys get that first hit out of the way quickly,one never knows when the chance comes again.
5) Chris Snyder homered Monday,but the bigger concern is his two and almost more passed balls catching Charlie Morton.Morton has to keep the ball down and if Snyder cannot block Morton,the Pirates are going to have huge issues...
Will try to be back later with thoughts on the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg....
