Alonso pushes Mets past Pirates 4-3 after solid outing by Skenes

NEW YORK – Pete Alonso hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and the New York Mets took advantage of a costly error by shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Monday night.

Pirates ace Paul Skenes pitched out of trouble all night and exited after six innings with a chance to win. But the Mets scratched across two runs against Pittsburgh’s bullpen in the seventh to take a 3-2 lead.
