PITTSBURGH — The Pirates finished strong Saturday night at PNC Park. John Jaso delivered a pair of RBI singles in the ninth and tenth innings and the bullpen gave up just two hits over five innings as the Pirates walked off a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets.
But the game might have been won much earlier in the night.
Pirates starter Gerrit Cole didn’t have his best stuff from the very beginning and gave up four runs on ten hits in five innings. But he found a way to scratch, battle and claw enough to give his team a chance to win the game.
