August 16 - It took 16 innings, but the Pittsburgh Pirates finally got rewarded for their patience against the New York Mets.
The Pirates and Mets will each be looking to earn a series win Wednesday afternoon when Pittsburgh visits New York in the finale of a three-game set.
Johan Oviedo (6-12, 4.42 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Pirates against the Mets' Tylor Megill (6-6, 5.64) in a battle of right-handers.
The Pirates earned a 7-4 win on Tuesday, when pinch hitter Jack Suwinski drew a tiebreaking, bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning.
Megill also lost a start on Friday after surrendering six runs (five earned) over 5 1/3 innings as the Mets fell 7-0 to the visiting Atlanta Braves.
