Quinn Priester’s struggles on the mound continued, as he allowed at least one run in each inning he pitched, with the Mets scoring in a total of six frames across the eight they came to bat overall.

Ke’Bryan Hayes stayed hot, picking up another extra-base hit and run driven in. The rookie right-hander, and former first round pick, Priester allowed seven hits and three walks while surrendering six earned runs across five innings pitched.

His ERA jumped back over nine through 28.2 innings pitched.

The loss dropped the Pirates to 13 games under .500.
