PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen collected his 2,000th career hit, Jack Suwinski hit his 12th home run and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the New York Mets 2-1. McCutchen became the 291st player and fifth active player to reach 2,000 hits when he turned on a slider from Carlos Carrasco (2-3) leading off the bottom of the first and laced it to left field. Mitch Keller allowed just two hits in seven innings for the Pirates, who went 6-3 during a season-long nine-game homestand. Jeff McNeil hit his third homer of the season for New York. The Mets have dropped eight of nine.
