PITTSBURGH — Against one of the most beautiful backdrops in baseball, the Mets played one of the ugliest games of the season.One night after dropping a devastating extra-inning contest to the Atlanta Braves, the Mets were battered by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The losing streak extended to seven games in a 14-7 loss at PNC Park in the series opener. There were bad fundamentals, misplays, miscues and everything in between.The Mets rallied to score five in the ninth off Rob Zastryzny and closer David Bednar. The fight was there, but the execution wasn’t.Tylor Megill was shelled for the third time in four starts, but the defense behind him didn’t exactly help the situation.

The rivalry may not be what it once was, but when a close game comes down to the wire, it still feels different than any other matchup.Facing off for the first time this season, the Red Sox and Yankees went toe-to-toe in the Bronx on Friday night.What began with three scoreless innings ended in a 3-2 nail-biter victory for Boston. They’re still at the bottom of the division, but back to .500.Without the injured Aaron Judge, who leads the league with 19 home runs, the Yankees went quietly into the night. They collected nine hits, but went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.The Boston bats barely fared better. They compiled 10 hits, but went 1-for-4 RISP, also stranding seven.A pair of home runs made all the difference. While Garrett Whitlock held down the fort against the team that opted not to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, two of Boston’s youngest and brightest stars put the hurt on the Yankees starter.Triston Casas began his night 2...Guatemala says US-funded transit centers to receive applications from Central American migrants
