Mike Piazza hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Mets. wearing caps in honor of New York's firefighters, police and emergency medical workers, beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5 Tuesday night. The Mets came back for their 1Oth victory in 11 road games. At 73-73, the defending NL champions reached the .500 mark for the first time since the opening week of the season and moved within six games of NL East leader Atlanta, which lost 4-3 in Philadelphia. The Mets wore the special hats Monday night for pregame cere monies, then got permission from Major League Baseball to wear them for a game. A Mets season ticket holder, Edmond D. Farrell of Mineola, N.Y., wrote general manager Steve Phillips, suggesting the caps as a worthy tribute. "It's still tough to go out and focus when your hearts and minds [email protected] are somewhere else, but we've got a job to do," said Joe McEwing, who homered and drove in two runs.

Todd Zeile added a solo shot in the three-run eighth as Omar Olivares (6-8) allowed homers to two of his first three batters. Matt Lawton homered in the ninth off Rich Loiselle. · Maybe the Mets were responding to the welcomed news they will play their three-game weekend series against Atlanta as scheduled in Shea Stadium, the home ballpark they haven't seen since the day before Labor Day. Since then, they have won eight of nine during an extended road trip that has included two trips to Pittsburgh, one in which they didn't play a game, and a bus ride back home to tragedy-stricken New York, again without playing. For the first time in their two games back from baseball's week long layoff resulting from the terrorist attacks, the Mets reacted with considerable emotion, jumping off their dugout bench in cele bration of Piazza's drive. "There's been a lot of down emotion, but it's OK to let it out and turn it around,6manager Bobby Valentine said. Piazza said, ''I'm really glad to see the emotion high, that's the way we've been for the last 25 or so games. We've been really fired up, it's been kind of a daily thing to see who is going to get the big hit today." Before Tuesday, the Pirates hadn't allowed a homer in a season high six consecutive games. "It hurts bad to lose a game like that, so I guess we're ACUPULCO OR CANCUN FOR back,6Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon said. McClendon said he liked the Piazza vs. Olivares matchup in the eighth, even though Olivares hadn't pitched in 10 days. Piazza THE WEEKEND? seemed fooled for an instant by Olivares' breaking ball away, then hit it deep into the left-field seats for his 32nd homer. Jerrod Riggan (3-2) got the victory with 1 1/3 relief innings No problem if you study during the week despite giving up Brian Giles' 34th homer in the eighth. Rick White got the final two outs in that inning, and Armando at Notre Dame's International Study Program in Benitez pitched the ninth for his 40th save in 42 attempts. He is one save away from matching his club record of 41 set last sea son. The Pirates lost their 90th game of the season, the third time in PUEBLA, MEXICO four years they have done so. The Mets overcame a sloppy start in which the Pirates get only one hit, Jason Kendall's leadoff single, in a two-run first.
