PITTSBURGH -- Jim Gott balked home two runs in a three-run, eight-inning rally, enabling the New York Mets to post a 5-3 victory Saturday night over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

New York, which has beaten Pittsburgh in five of six games over the last two weekends, increased its lead over the second-place Pirates to six games in the National League East. Montreal is 6 1-2 games behind the Mets.
