Mets Extend Streak with Semien's Blast | MLB News

The Mets roar into their fourth straight win with a 6-4 thriller over the Pirates, fueled by Marcus Semien’s three-run homer and rookie Zac Thornton’s five-shutout innings. After sweeping Cleveland, New York dominated Pittsburgh despite a rain delay, building a six-zero lead before the Bucs clawed back with four late runs. But costly Pirate errors and Semien’s clutch defense sealed it. Rookie Carson Benge exited with wrist soreness after a wall collision, while Pirates’ Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his return. A.J. Ewing lit up the box score with three hits and two runs. The Mets aim to extend their streak when they face the Pirates again Saturday night.
