Now, this game will be interesting to the point that the Mets are coming in with the better record, but an undeclared pitcher. Pittsburgh for their part have a declared starter, but have not really performed that well in the games so far and that will make it difficult for the Pirates in this game as the Mets are able to secure the win. Final Score, New York Mets win 8-4.
