Make that seven wins in a row.
The New York Mets (17-13) beat the Pittsburgh Pirates (12-19) by a score of 8-4, sweeping the three game series.
Livan Hernandez labored, but hung in enough to earn the win. One hundred and four pitches, seven hits and four walks over Hernandez’s six innings. He allowed only two runs, but was in danger of giving up a lot more. Pedro Feliciano, J.J. Putz and Sean Green finished out the game. Green allowed two runs on a Nate McClouth home run in the 9th.
The Mets failed to put up a five run inning, but scored four in the 8th inning. The Mets got big days from Luis Castillo, Carlos Beltran and Omir Santos, each driving in two runs a piece. Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado and Beltran each hit doubles in the game as well.
Another well rounded game for the Mets as they continue their roll.
