The bats of the Pittsburgh Pirates came alive Friday night in New York as they beat the Mets 12-7.
Back up catcher Elias Diaz got the call to play after Francisco Cervelli became sick shortly before game time and had six RBI’s on the night. He had a three run double and a three run home run in the game. Josh Bell also hit a solo home run to help add to the Pirates lead.
The Pirates and the Mets will play again this evening at 7:15.
