After bringing in Felipe Vazquez with his team trailing by two in the eighth inning, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was asked by bench coach Tom Prince whether the closer would stay in the game if his turn to bat came up in the ninth. "At the time, I counted off and said this is what the lead will be and I still think he's our best option to close," Hurdle joked. "We would be in a good spot if we can get Vazquez up to the plate." As it turned out, that's exactly what happened. David Freese hit a go-ahead, two-run single and Pittsburgh rallied for four runs in the ninth to beat the New York Mets 5-3 on Wednesday night. reaD MORE http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380627121
