NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Hernandez balked home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Jeff McNeil added an RBI double and the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Joey Wendle came off the bench and delivered a tying double for the Mets, who have won nine of 12 following an 0-5 start to move over .500 for the first time since early June last year.
“It seems like every night it’s been somebody different for this team,” Wendle said.
New York came back to beat the Pirates for the second consecutive night and has won four straight series after dropping its first two.
Wendle replaced an ailing Brett Baty (left hamstring tightness) at third base in the top of the seventh and doubled off Luis Ortiz moments later. That scored Francisco Lindor, who drew a one-out walk from Ortiz (1-1) and went to third on Pete Alonso’s sharp single to center field.
