NEW YORK (AP) — Harrison Bader drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for the second day in a row, hitting a two-run double off an angry Aroldis Chapman that lifted the New York Mets over the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3 on Monday night. New York overcame a 3-0, sixth-inning deficit and reached .500 for the first time since they were 30-30 last June 6. The Mets have won eight of 11 following an 0-5 start under first-year manager Carlos Mendoza. “It’s important to continue to play well after a rough, start, but we’ve still got a long ways to go,” Mendoza said. “I like where we are a team.” Chapman (0-1) was ejected by plate umpire Edwin Moscoso after Bader’s double. “He evidently said something that the umpire did not like,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. New York stole three bases in the eighth against the Pirates, who have allowed 13 steals this season without throwing out a runner. |
