NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Ryan O\u2019Hearn had three hits and two RBIs, including a go-ahead single in the 10th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates threw out the potential tying run at the plate to hold off the New York Mets 4-3 on Sunday for their first victory this season.<\/p>\n
Henry Davis added a critical RBI single off New York reliever Richard Lovelady (1-1) with two outs in the 10th, and the Pirates got another home run from Brandon Lowe as they salvaged the series finale to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2015.<\/p>\n
With the Mets trailing 4-2 and two runners aboard in the bottom of the 10th, Juan Soto drove an RBI double to deep left-center. Francisco Lindor tried to score the tying run from first base but was cut down on a relay from center fielder Oneil Cruz to shortstop Jared Triolo to Davis at the plate for the first out of the inning.<\/p>\n
Soto advanced to third on Bo Bichette’s groundout before Jorge Polanco flied out to the right-field fence to end it.<\/p>\n
Dennis Santana (1-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win, and Jos\u00e9 Urquidy got three outs in his Pirates debut for his second major league save.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Hearn had three singles, including a run-scoring hit in the first. Lowe reached base four times and finished 5 for 12 with three homers and four RBIs during his first weekend with Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Pirates starter Carmen Mlodzinski allowed two runs with a career-high eight strikeouts in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Marcus Semien had a sacrifice fly in the second and Soto hit an RBI single in the fifth for the Mets, who struck out 16 times.<\/p>\n
New York rookie Nolan McLean gave up two runs and struck out eight in five innings.<\/p>\n
RHP Clay Holmes (12-8, 3.53 ERA) makes his season debut Monday for the Mets, who open their first road trip against RHP Kyle Leahy (4-2, 3.07) and the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n
