New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz returned from his 10-game suspension and pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his eighth save in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Diaz was activated before the game after he served his suspension for violating MLB's policy on foreign substances. After hitting Oneil Cruz with a pitch to start the ninth, Diaz struck out pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez and got Andrew McCutchen to ground into a game-ending double play.
