Pirates Edge Mets 4-3 in 10 Innings for First Win

New York, March 29, 2026 - The Pittsburgh Pirates secured their first victory of the season with a 4-3 win over the New York Mets in 10 innings on Sunday, snapping a potential 0-3 start not seen since 2015 and salvaging the series finale at Citi Field.

Ryan O'Hearn delivered the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the top of the 10th, his third hit and second RBI of the game. With automatic runner Bryan Reynolds at second, O'Hearn's poke to center allowed Reynolds to score easily against reliever Richard Lovelady. Henry Davis followed with another RBI single two outs later, plating pinch-runner Billy Cook to extend the lead to 4-2.

The Mets mounted a late threat in the bottom half. Juan Soto laced an RBI double to deep left-center, scoring automatic runner Francisco Alvarez and putting New York within one with runners at the corners. Francisco Lindor attempted to tie the game from first but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from center fielder Oneil Cruz to shortstop Jared Triolo and catcher Davis. Soto advanced to third on Bo Bichette's groundout, but Jorge Polanco flied out to right field, where Billy Cook made the catch at the fence to end the game.
