Mets Lead Pirates in Early Season Thriller

0:00On March 26th, opening day in New York started with a bang as the Mets took on the pirates. Star-pitcher Paul Schienes for Pittsburgh couldn't make it through even one inning. The Mets jumped all over him for five runs right away, thanks to a couple of big errors in the outfield by centerfielder O'Neal Cruz. Those mistakes turned the tide early. With the bases loaded, Cruz misread a fly ball and let it sail over his head for a triple that brought in three runs. Momas later, he lost another ball and allowed an extra run to score on what became a double. Fans and social media wasted no time piling on crews for the rough outing. Even NBA star Joel and B jumped in with some pointed criticism online. It's a tough spotlight for the young outfielder on such a big stage. The pirates did get a spark from their new second baseman Brandon Lowe. He crushed two home runs in just two ad bats, including one on the very first pitch he saw on a pirate's uniform. As we speak, the Mets hold a five to three lead heading into the fourth inning and both teams are still swinging for the fences in this early season.
