About this episode
The New York Mets started their 2026 MLB season with a victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates, thanks to a strong performance from their offense. Despite facing tough pitching from Paul Skenes, the Mets managed to chase him out early and put up five runs in the first inning. Rookie outfielder Carson Benge, who earned his spot in right field after the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo, hit his first career home run and contributed to back-to-back homers on Opening Day. Benges performance, along with the rest of the Mets offense, shows promise for the teams season.
