 NEW YORK (AP) - Josh Phelps capped a five-run sixth inning with a two-run homer, then added an RBI double in the seventh to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Mets 8-4 on Thursday.
It was just the second win in 12 games since the All-Star break for the Pirates and ended a three-game Mets' winning streak.
Left-hander Paul Maholm (7-12) won for the third time in four starts, limiting the Mets to three runs and six hits over six-plus innings.
