NEW YORK — Chris Stewart’s RBI single in the 14th inning broke a tie and the Pirates beat the New York Mets, 5-3, Saturday night at Citi Field.
The Pirates led through six innings until the Mets tied it in the seventh. After that, both bullpens pitched excellent baseball, with Hansel Robles and Joe Blanton each putting forth three scoreless innings.
Francisco Cervelli doubled for the second time to start the 14th inning, this time against lefty Sean Gilmartin. Starling Marte bounced a grounder to first and Daniel Murphy tried to get the lead runner at third, but his throw was off target.
