Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets — มี.ค. 29, 2026 | การทำนาย AI และสถิติ

Expect a crisp start from Pittsburgh as Ryan O’Hearn ambushes a first-inning fastball from Nolan McLean for a solo shot, but the Mets’ rookie right-hander settles in quickly, leaning on his mid-90s heater and power curve to rack up whiffs and grounders through the middle frames. Carmen Mlodzinski keeps the ball on the ground early, yet his command wavers the third time through the order: a Lindor walk, Semien opposite-field double, and Juan Soto’s two-run single flip the lead in the third. New York’s deep lineup grinds out at-bats, forcing Mlodzinski from the game after five; the bullpen tandem of Isaac Mattson and Mason Montgomery inherits traffic and surrenders two more when Luis Robert Jr. slaps an RBI single and Francisco Alvarez lifts a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Pittsburgh briefly narrows the gap in the sixth on a Brandon Lowe RBI double, but McLean exits after six with a 4-2 cushion and a dozen strikeouts. The Mets’ back-end trio—Brooks Raley, Devin Williams, and Clay Holmes—locks things down. Williams overpowers the heart of the Pirates’ order in the eighth despite a Nick Gonzales RBI flare, while Holmes closes the door with his trademark turbo sinker. Offensively, New York tacks on insurance in the seventh (Carson Benge stolen-base pressure sets up a Jorge Polanco run-scoring single) and the eighth (Brett Baty triples off the right-center wall, scoring on a Luis Robert Jr. groundout). Edge in starting pitching, bullpen stability, and a relentlessly patient top of the order give the Mets a controlled 6-3 victory and a sweep of the opening series.
