Mets Beat Pirates 9-8

After coming off two bad losses vs the Pirates, the Mets beat them 9-8 in the last game of a 4-game series. Until the bottom of the third inning, the score was 7-0 Pirates, when Carlos Beltran hit a three-run homer. K-Rod collected his 16th save of the season.

Most Mets fans think that the Mets pitching is really bad, which is true, but their offense has to also improve. The Mets lost 5-1 on Tuesday, and they could have won if the Mets scored more than one run. Yesterday, Mike Pelfrey didn't pitch well, but the Mets offense scored nine runs, and the Mets won. The Mets will play the Braves this weekend, and hope to keep up their offense.
