Marcus Semien’s second homer in two games and Zac Thornton’s five scoreless innings helped New York match a season high with its fourth straight win.
- On Friday, the New York Mets defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4 at PNC Park, matching a season-high fourth straight win. Second baseman Marcus Semien hit a three-run homer, and rookie Zac Thornton pitched five scoreless innings to secure the victory.
- Pittsburgh starter Carmen Mlodzinski returned to the rotation replacing injured Mitch Keller, while the Mets carried momentum from sweeping a three-game series in Cleveland before arriving Thursday night.
