Episode Details

The Mets suffered a tough loss to the Pirates, 4-3, in ten innings. The game remained tied at 2-2 until the top of the tenth when the Pirates scored two runs off reliever Richard Lovelady, including an RBI single from Ryan OHearn. The Mets attempted a comeback in the bottom half, but Juan Sotos double only scored the free runner, and Francisco Lindor was thrown out at the plate on a risky send.

Nolan McLean had a shaky start, walking the first two batters and giving up an RBI single and a solo homer to Brandon Lowe. However, he recovered, striking out eight over five innings and allowing just two runs. Carmen Mlodzinski dominated early for the Pirates, striking out eight Mets in four-point-one frames before the Mets tied it with Lindors triple and Sotos single.

OHearn earned game MVP honors with three hits and two RBIs, while Luis Robert Junior and Brett Baty each had a couple of hits. Soto and Bo Bichette struck out three times each, but Soto still drove in two runs. Sean Manaea looked solid in his season debut from the pen, and the bullpen held firm until the tenth.

The Mets now hit the road for seven games, starting with three against the Cardinals on Monday. Clay Holmes takes the mound against Kyle Leahy at 7:45 PM on SNY.
