MLB: NY Mets 8, Pittsburgh 7

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Mike Cameron's sacrifice fly drove in Wilson Delgado in the 10th inning Saturday as the New York Mets defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7.

Jeff Keppinger drove in two runs and was one of six different players to drive in at least one run for the Mets, who blew a 7-0 second inning lead but rebounded.

Todd Zeile started the game at catcher for the first time in 14 years, as the Mets have won consecutive games for the first time since sweeping a doubleheader from Colorado on Aug. 19. Zeile spent the first six innings behind the plate for the first time since 1990 when he was with the Cardinals.

Former Met Ty Wigginton went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI, as the Pirates have dropped five straight games.

In the top of the 10th, Delgado began the rally with a one-out single off reliever Salomon Torres.
