PITTSBURGH -- Gerrit Cole pointed a finger after losing his third straight start -- at himself. John Bucks two-run single capped a three-run first inning against Cole, and Dillon Gee pitched another gem against the Pirates as the New York Mets beat Pittsburgh 4-2 on Sunday. Cole (4-3) has lost three in a row since becoming the first Pirates pitcher since Nick Maddox in 1907 to win the first four starts of his career. "I didnt come out ready to pitch, and that inexcusable," Cole said. "Its just indefensible. I didnt give our team a very good chance to win. I put us in position where I had to scratch and claw and so did the rest of the team." Cole surrendered three runs and six hits in five innings with two walks and five strikeouts. He started in place of All-Star left-hander Jeff Locke, who was scratched from this start on Saturday because of lower back tightness. After losing Tuesday to Oakland, Cole wasnt expected to pitch again until after the All-Star break. However, he learned Friday he would likely start Sunday. "I had plenty of time to prepare," Cole said. "No excuse." Gee also didnt make any excuses despite pitching with sore feet. The right-hander developed blisters on the soles of his feet during an 87-degree afternoon. It was so warm that the dirt on the mound baked in the sun. However, Gee overcame the blisters and prevented the Pirates from sweeping the three-game series before the break. Gee (7-7) allowed just one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings to the Pirates (56-37), who entered the day tied with St. Louis for the best record in the major leagues and the National League Central lead. Gee is 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA in five career starts against Pittsburgh. He scattered five hits, struck out two and walked one. "Its just sometimes this is the way it works out," Gee said of his success against the Pirates. "Theyre a really good team. I was just trying to throw strikes with all my pitches and just keep them off balance, and it worked out." Bobby Parnell earned his 17th save in 20 opportunities with a scoreless ninth despite giving up back-to-back singles to Clint Barmes and pinch-hitter Russell Martin with one out. He got Jordy Mercer to fly out to end the game. "We continue to fight until the final out," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Sometimes Id like to see us hit the go button a little earlier in the game, but we always fight." Starling Marte had two hits for the Pirates, whose three-game winning streak was snapped. Buck, Eric Young Jr. and Marlon Byrd each had three hits for New York, which finished a 6-3 road trip. The Mets will host the All-Star game on Tuesday night at Citi Field. The Mets took a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Byrd bounced a run-scoring, ground-rule double into the left-field seats, and Buck lined a two-run single to right. "Its the growing pains of a young pitcher," Hurdle said of Coles rocky first inning. "His command wasnt good and the changeup didnt come into play until the 35th pitch of the game even though it had been a good pitch for him in his previous outing." Marte also bounced an RBI double into the seats in the third inning to draw the Pirates within 3-1. Daniel Murphy tripled in a run in the seventh to restore the Mets three-run lead. Pittsburgh put runners on second and third with none out in the eighth on a single by Mercer and a double by Andrew McCutchen, but the Pirates scored only one run when Jose Tabata grounded out against LaTroy Hawkins. "We had chances late in the game but Hawkins is a veteran eighth-inning guy who did his job, and Parnell is a tough guy to square up," Hurdle said. "They held us off." NOTES: Pittsburgh RHP Mark Melancon was added as an injury replacement to the NL roster for Tuesday nights All-Star game at Citi Field in New York. That gives the Pirates a five-man All-Star contingent, their largest since 1972. Melancon joins Locke, RHP Jason Grilli, 3B Pedro Alvarez and McCutchen. ... Locke said he expects to make his next start July 21 at Cincinnati. . Collins said the blister on RHP Matt Harveys right index finger has healed and he will be able to pitch in the All-Star game. Harvey is a prime contender to be the NLs starting pitcher despite being scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Pirates because of the blister and to limit his innings this season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- On a weekend when one of their all-time great quarterbacks will be celebrated and their current quarterback is expected to be a spectator, the Green Bay Packers are likely to play the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game with two undrafted, rookie, free-agent quarterbacks: Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams.Unless, of course, Brett Favre wants to take off his new gold jacket and don his now-retired, green-and-gold No. 4 for one more night.Brett Hundley, the Packers No. 2 quarterback, sat out his second straight practice Thursday night with an ankle injury, putting his status for Sundays game in doubt. And although Packers coach Mike McCarthy has not officially said whether two-time NFL MVP?Aaron Rodgers?will sit out Sundays game against the Indianapolis Colts, Rodgers was given the night off from practice Thursday, a telltale sign that he will not play.Last year, the Minnesota Vikings Teddy Bridgewater and the Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger did not play in the Hall of Fame Game, and Rodgers didnt sound like he was expecting to play when he spoke with reporters earlier in the week.If Im not playing -- and I havent played a ton in the preseason the last couple years -- Im on the headset, Im listening to the plays, Im helping [Hundley] out, and Ill be there for Joe and Marquise as well, Rodgers said. I stay dialed into the game.Ill enjoy some laughs when the defense is out there, but Ill be watching the game, for sure. When the guys from my room are out there playing, Im going to be involved in what theyre doing and talking to them when theyre coming off the side and making sure that theyre seeing the right things and feeling good about the progressions.If Rodgers sits out and Hundley cant go, Callahan would probably start, because he has worked as the No. 3 quarterback since signing with the Packers after the draft. Williams would then relieve him, having not joined the team until three weeks after Callahan in May.I think you have to be ready for the alternative, McCarthy said before practice. The two young quarterback were going to play a lot anyway going into it, and the game plan for offense will reflect that.Thats the way it goes.Calllahan, who is 6-foot-1, 216 pounds, had a record-setting career at Division III Wesley College, a liberal arts school in Dover, Delaware.dddddddddddd As a senior last season, he threw for 5,063 yards and 55 touchdowns en route to the Gagliardi Trophy, awarded to the best player in Division III. The Packers were the lone team to show interest in him before the draft.Im going to prepare for as many plays as they give me and make sure that I prepare as much as possible, Callahan said before Thursdays practice.Williams, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound quarterback, left North Carolina after having set more than 20 school records, including career rushing yards (2,458) and touchdowns (35) by a quarterback.Marquise has really picked up, and Joes done a very good job of improving, McCarthy said.Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Monday that he plans to play quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of his healthy players, though Pagano hasnt said how long his starters will play. McCarthy said throughout the offseason that Hundley would get extended work during the Packers five preseason games, having been promoted after serving as the Packers No. 3 quarterback as a rookie last season behind Rodgers and Scott Tolzien, who now backs up Luck with the Colts.Hundley, a fifth-round pick from UCLA last year, was magnificent in preseason last summer, completing 45 of 65 passes for 630 yards with an NFL-best seven touchdown passes and a passer rating of 129.7, the second highest in the 2015 preseason.McCarthy said before practice that he and his staff would have their playing-time meeting Friday morning after getting the medical report from head athletic trainer Bryan Engel and team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie. But it looks as if itll be the Callahan and Williams Show on ESPN on Sunday night.First time, on national TV, so this will be pretty cool, Callahan said. Its exciting. I cant wait.Meanwhile, Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who dropped out of practice Wednesday night with an ankle injury, watched practice Thursday night. He appears unlikely to play as well. ' ' '
