Mitch Keller secured his first win of the season, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a commanding 9-1 victory over the New York Mets at PNC Park. Keller, who had struggled in his previous outings, showcased his pitching skills, helping the Pirates improve to 33-50. The offensive explosion for the Pirates was spearheaded by Jared Triolo, Alexander Canario, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Tommy Pham, who collectively drove in runs during a decisive four-run second inning.

Although Juan Soto hit a solo homer for the Mets, the Pirates responded with an RBI double from Ke'Bryan Hayes. The victory signals a potential turnaround for Keller and the Pirates, who have faced a challenging season.
