PITTSBURGH -- There seems to be something that Sean Manaea likes about pitching on the road.

Entering Sunday’s contest with a 3-0 record and a 2.82 ERA away from Citi Field, Manaea stayed true to form by firing six shutout innings in the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Pirates at PNC Park.

After laboring through a pair of slow-moving innings caused by a pair of walks and a self-inflicted fielding error to open his outing, Manaea soon found his groove. He didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning -- when Ke’Bryan Hayes reached base with a single on a ball that deflected off of the glove of third baseman Mark Vientos -- and at one point in his outing, retired eight Pirates in a row. Manaea was aided by a pair of nifty diving plays in the field, first by Vientos in the second inning, then by Brandon Nimmo in the sixth.

Manaea allowed just a pair of base hits to go along with his three walks, and he ended his outing with a strikeout of Nick Gonzales, his sixth of the game.

The sinker was the lefty’s most effective pitch, recording six of his nine whiffs on the pitch.

Trailing, 2-1, in the top of the ninth inning, the Mets came storming back to take the lead. With runners at first and third and two outs, Jose Iglesias drew a walk to load the bases before Francisco Lindor drove a two-run single into left field to put New York ahead for good.
