The legend of John Nogowski continued to grow Sunday, as he delivered a two-out, game-tying single in the ninth inning before scoring what proved to be the winning run in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 6-5 victory over the stunned New York Mets Sunday at Citi Field in New York.
The come-from-behind win enabled the Bucs to salvage a split of their four-game series with the Mets, and it left them with a 34-56 record heading into the four-day All-Star break. They’ll resume play at PNC Park Friday against the same Mets at 7:05 p.m.
The Pirates’ game-tying rally in the ninth started when Kevin Newman doubled with one out and moved to third on Bryan Reynolds’ grounder to second.
