Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets
7:10 PM ET, May 30, 2011
Citi Field, New York, NY
Coming off one of their best offensive games of the season, the New York Mets now hope to continue their home dominance over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Although the Pirates have never won at Citi Field, they likely won't be intimidated.
Pittsburgh is playing surprisingly well on the road and Charlie Morton, the scheduled starter for Monday's series opener, has been as sharp as just about any pitcher in baseball.
The Pirates (24-27) arrive in New York after Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Although Pittsburgh dropped the finale, it outscored the Cubs 14-2 in winning the first two at Wrigley Field to take its seventh road series this year -- the same number it had in each of the last two seasons.
The Pirates are 15-13 on the road after going 17-64 away from PNC Park in 2010.
"We talked about our road record (from) last year and we actually have gone out of our way to reconstruct some things on the road to just make some things different," manager Clint Hurdle told the Pirates' official website.
