New York Mets Opening Weekend Recap | Mets vs Pirates Series Breakdown 🔥

The New York Mets kicked off their 2026 season with a wild series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, taking 2 out of 3 games—but there’s A LOT to unpack 👀

Game 1 was an offensive explosion as the Mets dropped 11 runs, highlighted by a debut home run from rookie Carson Benge and a rough outing from reigning Cy Young winner Paul Skenes.

Game 2 delivered drama, with Luis Robert Jr. launching a walk-off 3-run homer in the 11th inning to seal the win 🔥

Game 3? A tough extra-innings loss despite big moments from Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, as the Mets fell short late.

Is it just me, or does the road to WrestleMania 42 feel… off?
