0:00It's March 26, I'm Cory with the story, and this is New York Met's News Today, AI-powered updates on your squad. The New York Met's launched their season with a bang on opening day against the Pittsburgh pirates and queens. New A's Freddie Peralta surrendered a two-run homer in the top of the first, but bounced back by striking out the next three vatters. That left the Met's trailing just two runs heading to the bottom half. Running off against Paul Schienz, the 2025 National League-Sai Young winner with a 1.97 earn run average last year. The Met's had a tough match-up. Still, they wasted no time rallying with a walk to Francisco Lindor, a single from Juan Soto, and a sacrifice fly by Boba Schett to cut the deficit to. One run. Base is loaded drama unfolded next, as Jorge Polanco reached on a bunch, and Luis Robert Jr. walked. One designated hitter, Brett Beatty, crushed a triple over the center-fielder, clearing the bases for three runs.

1:01Marcus Simeon followed with a fly ball that let Beatty score, flipping the score to five two Met's. Schienz couldn't escape the inning, throwing 37 pitches while allowing four hits, two walks and five earn runs before getting yanked. The pirate's ace, one of the best starters in baseball, had a nightmare debut for his new campaign. With the game still in progress, this first inning explosion gives Met's fans the perfect tone-setter, hinting at big potential for the 20. 26 season.
