The New York Mets stayed hot on Sunday, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 at PNC Park. With the victory, New York takes the series from the Pirates and move to 5-1 on their road trip. Sean Manaea was superb and Bo Bichette was a perfect 5-for-5.

Sean Manaea was quite strong once again. He threw seven strong innings allowing only one run on three hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out a season-best 11. He induced 19 swings-and-misses. In doing so, he lowered his season ERA to 4.13. A far cry from the 6.85 mark he sported following an appearance on May 10.

Behind Manaea, Jack Weisenburger made his big league debut and posted two scoreless innings with two strikeouts. He struck out Jhostynxon Garcia for his first big league punch-out in the ninth. The 28-year-old was called up prior to the game and has played with Triple-A Syracuse and the Mexican League in 2026.

Offensively, Bo Bichette led the way. He was a perfect 5-for-5 and had the hit that blew the game open in the fourth inning. He cleared the bases with a bases-loaded double putting the Mets up 8-1 at the time.

Elsewhere, Luis Robert Jr. drove in a season-high four runs. He hit a two-run home run in the third, had a sacrifice fly in the first, and singled home Bichette in the seventh.

In all, four Mets had multi-hit games. The aforementioned Bichette and Robert Jr. were joined by Carson Benge (2-for-5, RBI) and Jared Young (3-for-5). Lastly, Francisco Alvarez added his 13th home run in the fifth.

With the victory, the Mets move to 52-67 on the season.
