Mark Canha drove in three runs Saturday, including a tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh, as the visiting New York Mets snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1.
Francisco Alvarez homered and Brandon Nimmo added an RBI single for the Mets, whose losing streak had been their longest of the season.
Pittsburgh designated hitter Andrew McCutchen entered the game with 1,999 hits but didn't reach the milestone. He flied out to center, walked, struck out and grounded out.
