Josh Bell and Josh Harrison also drove in multiple runs for the Pirates, who took advantage of Mets starter Matt Harvey's continued struggles -- six runs in five-plus innings -- in the victory. Walking four batters and allowing five hits, Harvey bloated his ERA to 5.43. But the Pirates did not stop scoring even after Harvey departed, tagging Paul Sewald for five runs and Neil Ramirez for one -- a Harrison homer.
It was more than enough for the Pirates to boost starter Gerrit Cole, who gave up seven runs in five innings.
