Pirates Stumble, Lose to Mets
A good performance from second baseman Scott Hatcher helped the New York Mets defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-4. Hatcher was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs for the Mets. John Rood recorded the save, making him 35 for 38. The third-place Mets have won 4 straight games.

Mario Vasquez had a big solo home run for the Mets in the bottom of the third inning. With New York leading 3-2 and the bases empty, he sized up a changeup from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Victor Gonzalez and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Mets on top, 4-2.

Afterward, Pittsburgh manager Merlyn Evans said: "We've hit a rough patch."
