Instead of a tie game and another rocky outing for Dedniel Núñez, the Mets reliever tipped his hat as Nimmo — who also doubled and scored off Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes in the fourth inning — bumped chests with Tyrone Taylor in the outfield to celebrate what manager Carlos Mendoza described as a “hell of a play.”
Pete Alonso hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and the New York Mets took advantage of a costly error by shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3.
The Mets answered back in the fourth inning against Skenes. Nimmo led off the inning with a line drive double, and then center fielder Jeff McNeil, swinging on the first pitch, followed with a one-out double to right field to tie the game 1-1.
The Pirates are among MLB’s worst teams, but with their great equalizer on the mound for six innings Monday night they stood a chance against the Mets.
Roughly six weeks into the season, Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Joey Bart has proven to be among the team's hardest players to remove from the lineup any given night.
