Mets 7, Pirates 3
NEW YORK — Josh Thole hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh, and rookie Dillon Gee struck out a career-high eight for the Mets, who had 15 hits a day after banging out a season-high 17 against the Phillies. Carlos Beltran led off the seventh with a walk off reliever Daniel McCutchen, and Daniel Murphy singled. Beltran went to third on Angel Pagan's deep fly to center. Thole then lashed a 2-and-1 pitch into the right-center gap.
