The Pittsburgh Pirates were defeated 4-3 by the New York Mets at Citi Field, despite a strong start from Paul Skenes and a home run from Isiah Kiner-Falefa in his return from the injured list. Kiner-Falefa's solo shot gave the Pirates an early lead, but the Mets tied the game in the fourth inning. The Pirates briefly regained the lead in the seventh, only to have the Mets tie the score again and ultimately take the lead on a fielding error.
