First-place Mets seek another win vs. Pirates
The New York Mets needed a lot of things Thursday night -- none more than the early lead they took on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Mets will look to build off Thursday's wire-to-wire win on Friday night, when they host the Pirates in the second game of a four-game series.
Taijuan Walker (11-4,3.48 ERA) is slated to take the mound for the Mets against Mitch Keller (5-10, 4.01) in a battle of right-handers.
