0:00It's March 27. You're listening to New York Metz News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. The New York Metz kicked off their season with an 11-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on opening day. Facing tough pitching from National League-Sai young winner, Paul Schienes, the Metz rallied back from an early two-nothing deficit. They scored 11 runs in the first inning alone to chase Schienes early. Star Outfielder Juan Soto went two-for-four with a run batted in, while Rookie Carson Benj smashed a home run in his major league debut. A day later, fans spotted something special between the two players. A team video captured Soto and Benjay, sharing a custom handshake and plenty of high fives in the clubhouse. Soto lived genuinely excited around the young outfielder, a shift from his more reserved style last year. Metz supporters had worried about team chemistry, after Soto's first season in Queens spent low energy compared to his time with the Yankees. The front office addressed locker room vibes in the off season by adding veterans like

Mentoring Benjay might also fast-track the Rookie's growth into a key contributor. With Soto smiling more and Benjay thriving already, the Metz lineup looks prime for a strong run this year.
