Mitch Keller delivered a gem for the Pittsburgh Pirates but the offense wasted far too many chances in a 4-2 walk-off loss to the New York Mets at Citi Field on Saturday evening.

Scoring Plays​

Top 10th, 1-0 Pirates: Nick Gonzales singled to left-center off Luis García. Automatic runner Bryan Reynolds scored from second base.

Bottom 10th, 1-1: Luis Torrens singled off Hunter Barco with the bases loaded and everyone moved up 90 feet to tie the game.

Top 11th, 2-1 Pirates: After automatic Jake Mangum advanced to third, he scored on a Bryan Reynolds infield single to retake the lead.

Bottom 11th: 4-2, Mets: Luis Robert Jr. delivered a three-run walk-off home run off Barco (0-1) to left-center field.
