Mets pitchers give up a season-high ten walks in a loss
The Mets called up Jose Butto from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday knowing that they might need a pitcher to provide length out of the bullpen. Left-hander David Peterson lasted only 3 2/ 3 innings and Butto, a spot starter, took over from there, taking the loss after a seventh-inning blowup in the Mets’ 7-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Citi Field.
The Mets picked up an inefficient Carlos Carrasco to down the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-2 in the first game of a three-game series. Francisco Lindor went 2- for-3 with a double, two runs, a stolen base and a walk. Jeff McNeil drove in two runs while Daniel Vogelbach, Jonathan Araúz and Brandon Nimmo each homered.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were defeated by the New York Mets 7-2.
Ke’Bryan Hayes added an RBI double in the third as the Pirates lost for the 10th time in their last 12 trips to Citi Field.
