Francisco Lindor's grand slam Friday night capped a 10-run sixth inning outburst by the New York Mets that lifted them to a 13-4 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Mets have won four of five. The Pirates have lost eight of 11.
The teams were tied 2-2 before 10 of the first 11 Mets to step to the plate reached base against a trio of Pirates pitchers. Starter JT Brubaker (4-9) allowed a leadoff single to Brandon Nimmo and walked Francisco Lindor before Dominic Smith delivered the go-ahead RBI single. Pete Alonso chased Brubaker by hitting a three-run homer on the next pitch.
