The Mets and Pirates both scored exactly 23 runs in their season series in 2014, which was won by Pittsburgh, four games to three.

The Mets shut out the Cardinals 5-0 on Thursday, Jacob deGrom and Jeurys Familia combining on a two-hitter. The two hits were the fewest allowed by the Mets in a game since holding the White Sox to just one hit in a 1-0, 10-inning victory on May 7, 2013.

Pittsburgh is 0-6 in extra-inning games this season after losing to Minnesota 4-3 in 13 innings on Wednesday. The six extra-inning losses are tied with Oakland for the most in the majors.

Andrew McCutchen enters this series with an active eight-game hitting streak against the Mets. He is batting .379 (11/29) during this streak, but has knocked in just two runs.

Noah Syndergaard (1-1) is looking to become the first Mets' pitcher to get a decision in each of his first three (or more) career starts since Matt Harvey went 2-3 in his first five, July 26-August 16, 2012 (streak not broken by any relief appearances). Syndergaard (22 yrs, 266 days) is the fifth youngest starting pitcher in the majors (minimum one game started in 2015).

Opponents are batting just .194 (20/103) against Gerrit Cole after he gets ahead in the count 0-1, as opposed to .295 (18/61) if he falls behind in the count 1-0.
