Another big inning for Mets
The Mets continue to pour it on.
A Marcus Semien flyout, Carson Benge walk, Francisco Alvarez single and Francisco Lindor walk brought Juan Soto to the plate, and he poked a one-out ground ball into leftfield off Pirates releiver Isaac Matson to extend the Mets' lead to 7-4.
Bo Bichette ended a 13-pitch at-bat with a swinging strikeout, but Jorge Polanco drew a four-pitch walk to force in Alvarez and make it 8-4. Luis Robert Jr., who already recorded his first RBI as a Met an inning earlier, reached on a check-swing infield single to first, scoring Lindor and making it 9-4.
Brett Baty, who cleared the bases once before with a three-run triple in the first, flew out to left to end the inning.
