PITTSBURGH — The Mets were in the familiar position of disappointment following a blown lead by the bullpen Sunday, but they at least had a chance to rectify the matter.
Lindor’s single buried former Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, a half-inning after Edwin Diaz flushed a one-run lead. Francisco Alvarez began the go-ahead rally with a leadoff walk and Harrison Bader singled. It was a second straight appearance for the left-hander of pitching at least six innings after going seven straight starts without reaching that mark. The fireballing right-hander, in his second start of the season, allowed only four hits without walking a batter over six shutout innings. Ortiz provided two scoring chances for the Mets: Lindor’s two-out single in the third got Vientos to third base before Nimmo struck out in a second straight at-bat.
The Pirates put runners on base throughout against Manaea, but the lefty succeeded in avoiding damage. In the first, he walked two batters, but got Reynolds to hit into a double play that helped suffocate the inning.In the second, Manaea missed the bag covering first base, allowing Ke’Bryan Hayes to reach leading off the inning, but followed with three straight outs.
