NEW YORK â An emotional Tuesday may have brought the end to an era for the New York Mets. But the Mets know thereâs no better way to pay tribute to Sandy Alderson than by proving Wednesday night that Tuesday nightâs win was no fluke.
The Mets will look to earn a series victory Wednesday night Joey Bosa Jersey , when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the rubber match of a three-game set at Citi Field.
Zack Wheeler (2-6, 4.85 ERA) is scheduled to take the mound for New York against Pittsburghâs Ivan Nova (4-5, 3.98 ERA) in a battle of right-handers.
The Mets concluded a whirlwind day by edging the Pirates 4-3 in 10 innings. Wilmer Flores, who had a two-run single in the first inning, delivered his third walk-off hit of the season and the ninth walk-off hit of his career when his single down the third-base line scored Michael Conforto from first base with one out.
The Mets (32-45) snapped a seven-game losing streak hours after learning Alderson, who has been the teamâs general manager since October 2010 Kyle Williams Jersey , would be taking an indefinite leave of absence to battle a recurrence of cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 2015 and underwent treatment following that season.
Three of Aldersonâs assistants â John Ricco, J.P. Ricciardi and Omar Minaya â will share the general managerâs role while Alderson is out.
Alderson said during a pregame press conference that the cancer returned in April. He informed players of his diagnosis during a pregame meeting that left many players in tears but also may have crystallized their focus.
âWe have a job to do and lately we havenât been doing it up to our potential,â Conforto said. âSo we really wanted to focus in and just make sure that we bounce back today, of all days, and play a little bit better. I think we showed a little fight there. We battled back and scratched together enough runs to win a ballgame tonight. So hopefully that gets us on the right path.â
The Pirates (37-42) were hoping a wire-to-wire 6-4 victory in Mondayâs opener would get them back on the right track, but Tuesdayâs loss was the sixth in the last seven games.
On Wednesday Mike Alstott Jersey , the Pirates will be seeking only their second series win in their last 13 series dating back to May 17, a span in which they are 12-25.
âI think I shared with our club â I donât believe Iâve ever been through a rough patch of 34 games since Iâve been in the major leagues as a player, coach or manager,â said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who reached the bigs as a player in 1977. âAnd Iâve had enough. Thereâs a point in time you stop talking about being a good team, now you go play like a good team. Because your recordâs telling you youâre not a good team.â
Wheeler will be looking to earn his first win in almost two months. He took the loss Friday after allowing four runs over seven innings as the Mets fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2. Wheeler is 0-5 with a 5.13 ERA in 10 starts since his most recent victory April 29.
Nova didnât factor into the decision Friday Kyle Murphy Jersey , when he allowed three hits over eight scoreless innings in the Piratesâ 2-1, 13-inning loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was the second time this season Nova has tossed eight scoreless innings. He also didnât earn a decision in Pittsburghâs 1-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on April 26.
Wheeler didnât factor into the decision in his lone previous start against the Pirates on May 27, 2017, when he gave up three runs over six innings as the Mets fell 5-4 in 10 innings.
Nova is 1-0 with a 2.82 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against the Mets.
