Marcus Semien's Home Run Leads Mets to Fourth Straight Win Over Pirates

In Pittsburgh, Marcus Semien's three-run homer propelled the Mets to a 6-4 victory over the Pirates, securing their fourth consecutive win of the season.

Semien's homer in the third inning was a highlight in a game where the Mets matched their longest winning streak this year. Carson Benge, who contributed two RBI singles, left the game in the fourth inning due to left wrist discomfort after a collision with the left field fence.

Despite a challenging season, Semien's recent performance, including his second homer in as many games, raises questions about his potential impact moving forward. Rookie Zac Thornton pitched five scoreless innings, helping the Mets maintain their offensive momentum.
