Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:05:30 GMT

PITTSBURGH — The Mets badly needed a solid pitching performance and timely hitting. They needed to put all aspects of their game together at the same time.They mostly did that, snapping a seven-game winning streak with a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Saturday afternoon.Kodai Senga had another solid road start and gave the Mets seven innings of one-run ball, while Mark Canha played the hero by driving in three runs. He hit a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh inning off Dauri Moreta, and drove in Tommy Pham with another double in the ninth, this one off left-hander Angel Perdomo. Francisco Alvarez hit his 12th home run of the season off former Mets reliever Colin Holderman in the eighth.After failing to protect a 4-1 lead twice this week on the road against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets finally got the pitching they needed to make it stand up and an insurance run to help the bullpen.

But Tillis, who had opposed it earlier in his political career, was among the early supporters of the law who lobbied his GOP colleagues in Congress to vote in favor of it.Others criticized him for challenging former Pr...
