The Mets (42-43) are set to continue one of their weirder road trips in team history with a second-straight four-game series against the Pirates (41-45) at gorgeous PNC Park this weekend. Having squandered the opportunity to at least win their four-game series against the Nationals, the team will aim to do better in another series against one of the many teams in range of one of the National League Wild Card playoff spots.
Aside from yesterday’s one-hit whimper in the series finale against the Nats, the Mets’ lineup has been firing on all cylinders for weeks now.
