Mets Streak Continues with Semien’s Heroics | Pittsburgh News

The Mets are on fire, extending their winning streak to four games with a gritty 5-2 victory over the Pirates, thanks to Marcus Semien’s three-run homer and rookie Zac Thornton’s dominant five-inning shutout. Despite a rain delay and late Pirate rallies fueled by baserunning blunders, Semien sealed it with a slick slide at second base. Rookie Carson Benge exited with wrist soreness after a hard slide, while Pittsburgh’s Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his first start since May. The Mets aim to keep rolling as they face Bubba Chandler on Saturday night. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
