Mets Hold Grudge as Pirates Edge Mets in Doubleheader
New York Manager Davey Johnson cites 1984 and 1985 losses as fuel after the Mets split with Pittsburgh. Pirates win the nightcap 10-9 to halt a 14-game Shea Stadium streak, with Mike Diaz and Andy Van Slyke homering in the second game. Mazzilli's 10th inning double drives in two runs for a career high five RBI in the opener.
