Mets Turn Back Pirates, 4-3
New York Mets starter Bobby Soto found his groove in his team's 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The winner was Soto. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Sergio Merino. Van Nguyên recorded the save, his 29th.

Had Wanzhe Lin not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Lin hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Mets.

"We were the better team," crowed Lin.

New York sits in third place in the National League East at 74-69.
