8/9/2026 Box Score: New York Mets 11 Pittsburgh Pirates 1
A.J. Ewing* LF 0 for 4; 2 runs; 2 walks; 1 K; Francisco Lindor# SS 1 for 4; 2 runs; 1 walk; Bo Bichette 3B 5 for 5; 2 doubles; 3 runs; 3 RBIs; 1 walk; Carson Benge* RF 2 for 5; 1 RBI; 1 walk; 1 K; Luis Robert Jr. CF 2 for 5; 1 HR; 1 run; 4 RBIs; Jared Young* 1B 3 for 5; 1 triple; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; Marcus Semien 2B 1 for 4; 1 RBI; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Brett Baty* DH 0 for 5; 3 Ks; Francisco Alvarez C 1 for 3; 1 HR; 2 runs; 1 RBI; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Sean Manaea* (W, 4-5) 7 innings; 1 run; 1 ER; 3 hits; 1 HR; 11 Ks; Jack Weisenburger 2 innings; no runs; 1 hit; 2 Ks;
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "In what appears to be a reversal of fortunes from Saturday — and from the first half of the season, for that matter — the Mets absolutely crushed the Pittsburgh Pirates, using big performances at the plate by Bichette and the middle of the order, and a throwback performance by left-hander Sean Manaea...Bichette went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a walk. Had he not drawn the walk, he could have had a career-high six hits."
ESPN.com: "Bo Bichette went 5 for 5 with a three-run double and scored three times, Luis Robert Jr. homered and drove in four, and the New York Mets routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 on Sunday."
Brian Joura Mets360: "There was no shortage of stars in this one. Bo Bichette had a five-hit game, with two doubles, and saw his OPS rise to .685 for the season. Jared Young had three hits, including a triple. Benge and Robert had two hits apiece. Francisco Alvarez had a homer while also being behind the plate for Manaea’s gem."
SNY.TV: "After breaking double-digits on Sunday, they’ve now scored a total of 42 runs in the six games since the trade deadline, averaging the most in the National League over that span (seven)."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Sean Manaea’s dominance Sunday elicited reminders of why the Mets gave him a $75 million contract in the first place. Fastballs that registered 95 mph, swings and misses, barely any solid contact for the Pirates. All of it turned into Manaea’s best performance of the season to lead the Mets’ 11-1 victory at PNC Park. The win was their fifth in six games and gave them two series victories to begin this three-city road trip."
Mets.com: "The Mets provided plenty of cushion for left-hander Sean Manaea (4-5), who pitched seven dominant innings. He allowed one run -- a solo homer by Jake Mangum in the third inning -- and three hits while striking out 11 and not issuing a walk."
Mark Rosenman Kiner's Korner: "Jack Weisenburger's first trip to the big leagues may not have been something that showed up on many preseason predictions, but on Sunday, the 28-year-old right-hander officially became a Major Leaguer—and he did just fine once he got there. Called up from Triple-A Syracuse before the game, Weisenburger made his MLB debut and tossed two scoreless innings allowing just one hit while striking out two."
Greg Prince Faith and Fear in Flushing: "... the one they got Sunday, when they pounded the Pirates, 11-1, in Pittsburgh, would have been really apt to have occurred eight days earlier, when the 1986 Mets reunited at Citi Field. The Mets lost lifelessly that Saturday. The 2026 Mets did a lot of lifeless losing for months on end. Those months took or perhaps gave us a break this week. Again, we’ll welcome the life-filled winning now that it’s arrived, even if we are tempted to contact customer support to ask why it took so long in getting here."
