Paul Skenes delivered a strong start and Isiah Kiner-Falefa homered in his return off the injured list, but the Pittsburgh Pirates were walked off 4-3 by the New York Mets at Citi Field on Monday night.
Kiner-Falefa connected on his first home run of the season, a solo shot off David Peterson in the top of the second inning to put the Pirates (14-28) ahead 1-0.
The Mets (27-15) tied the game at 1-all in the bottom of the fourth when Jeff McNeil doubled home Brandon Nimmo against Paul Skenes.
With one out in the top of the seventh, Bryan Reynolds bounced into a fielder’s choice to plate a run and put the Pirates back in front.
