0:00It's March 29th. This is New York Metz News Today, driven by AI, your team, non-stop. The Metz are off to a hot start in the 2026 season, sitting at two wins and zero losses after handling the pirates in their opening, series at Cityfield. They crushed it on opening day with a big offensive push, then grinded out a tense extra innings victory on Saturday 9th. That win came down to the wire, with the Metz finally breaking through in the 10th before Lewis Robert Jr. sealed it with a massive walkoff. Three run homer, flipping the script on a wild comeback. Fans are buzzing about this early momentum, especially after last year's struggles, and it's got everyone hyped for a potential first sweep to kick. Things off right. The energy at Cityfield has been electric, drawing big crowds ready to see if the team can build on this fire. Today at 140 pm, Nolan LeClean takes the mound for a season debut, fresh off pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, where he, as the Badiens, even started the

1:01championship game against Venezuela. Brett Badi slides over to first base for his first career start there, Jorge Palanco moves to designated hitter, and manager Carlos Mendoza has D. Lana blocked in to chase that sweep, keeping the pedal down as the pirate series wraps up.
