"I didn't look at it," Rusin said of his messy outing against the Mets. "I got that outing out of my head and focused on what I did the outing before that [a home shutout of the Padres], and used that as an advantage."
After Ramirez's homer, on a fastball that didn't get far enough inside, Rusin retired nine of the next 10 Pirates. He faced some trouble when an error put Francisco Cervelli at third with two down in the fourth. But Rusin intentionally walked Neil Walker, then struck out Pirates pitcher J.
