NEW YORK Mets right-hander Marcus Stroman found out the hard way that left-hander Tyler Anderson could rake and it proved costly as the Pirates won, 6-2, in the first game of a seven-inning doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field.
The game was tied at 2 in the top of the fifth inning when Anderson came to the plate to face Stroman with two outs. It seemed Anderson was going to be an easy out. After all, he struck out in his first at-bat and was an .063 hitter entering the game. The count was 1-1, when Anderson hit the ball over the right-center-field fence to give the Pirates a one-run lead.
