Down the stretch they come, neck and neck
The Mets take two off of the Cardinals while the Pirates swept a three-game set with the Phillies.
What's it mean? The Mets and Pirates are now deadlocked atop the NL East with a identical 95-62 marks.
New York takes to the road, with three over the weekend in Philadelphia before a schedule quirk gives them two days off before two games in Chicago.
In the meantime, Pirates host Cubs for three and the Expos for two to close the season.
