Chapman Powers Pirates Offense
Pittsburgh third baseman Matt Chapman was a significant contributor in his team's 8-7 triumph over the New York Mets. He was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the Pirates. The win was credited to 28-year old right-handed pitcher Michael Grove in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Braxton Ashcraft took the loss. Earning the save was Pierce Johnson. He's now cashed in 12 of 16 save opportunities.

With Pittsburgh leading 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth, Chapman hit a fastball from Caleb Ferguson for a bases-clearing triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 8-4.

"This team keeps racking up the wins," said Pirates manager Jake S.

The third-place Pirates have won 7 straight.
