Unhappy Recap: Pirates 3 Mets 0

For the third straight day a lefthanded starter and the Pirates vaunted pitching staff shut down the Mets bats.

This time it was Zach Duke. He allowed 8 hits but spread them out to avoid any runs.

John Maine pitched well, but couldn't get the run support. His record falls to 5-5. He's pitched better than that record indicates.
