Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets
7:10 PM ET, September 15, 2010
Citi Field, New York, NY
The New York Mets may be one of the worst offensive teams in baseball, but they're showing that they can at least hit the Pittsburgh Pirates' poor pitching.
The Mets look to build on one of their best offensive performances of the season while continuing their home dominance of the lowly Pirates on Wednesday night.
New York (72-73) owns a .249 batting average to rank among the lowest in the majors. However, the Mets showed some punch at the plate Tuesday, collecting 14 hits with three doubles and two homers to power a 9-1 win over Pittsburgh (48-96). That offensive burst, which included a homer and a season-high three RBIs from Carlos Beltran, came a day after Nick Evans delivered an RBI pinch single in a 1-0, 10-inning win in the opener of this four-game set.
"When you get some young guys and get somewhat healthy you feel like we can do some of the things we did (Tuesday)," manager Jerry Manuel said.
