Mets' Walk-Off Homer Snaps Late-Inning Curse

0:00It's March 28th. Welcome in. This is New York Met's News Today, where Team Coverage meets AI. The Met's just pulled off a massive turnaround, snatching a four to two win over the pirates in extra innings at City Field. Luis Robert Jr. smashed a three-run walk-off homer in the 11th to seal it, after the Met's trailed late just like they used to struggle. The pirates grab leads in both the 10th and 11th, but the Met's clawed back each time. It started with starter David Peterson, tossing five and one-third scoreless innings, dodging jams on a fastball, averaging 90.1 miles per hour. Last year in 2025, the Met's win zero in 70 when trailing after eight innings, a wild street they blamed on bad luck and weak. Hitting. Team brass promise fixes heading into this season. Now in Robert's second game as a Met, he delivers the dagger after Jorge Palanco walked to open the frame. The Met's burned through five relievers, including new closer Devon Williams, to grind out the victory over pirates Ace Mitch Keller's six scoreless, frames.

1:04This late game magic flips the script early in 2026, showing the Met's might finally shake that old curse.
