On a cloudy spring day at Citi Field, the Mets defeated the Pirates for their first sweep of the season.
Luis Severino was on the mound and continued his strong start to the season, having his best performance yet as a Met. Going six innings for the first time in his short Mets’ career, Severino allowed just one unearned run, while striking out four batters. The one run Severino surrendered came in the third inning, where Henry Davis reached base on catchers interference. After allowing a hit and a double play, Davis was able to score on a Bryan Reynolds infield single.
