May 7, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga (34) reacts to a play against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first inning at Chase Field. Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The Pittsburgh Pirates don’t have to look far this week for an example of the confidence and good fortune that comes with doing a lot of the little things correctly.
The surging New York Mets will look to lock up another series win on Tuesday night when they host the Pirates in the middle contest of a three-game series.
Kodai Senga (4-2, 1.16 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against fellow right-hander Mitch Keller (1-4, 4.40).
The Mets earned their fourth walk-off win of the season on Monday following Pete Alonso’s sacrifice fly in the ninth inning.
New York ranks fourth in the National League in homers, slugging percentage and OPS. But the Mets’ fifth win in the last seven games was fueled by small ball.
New York scored twice without hitting the ball out of the infield in the seventh inning. Luisangel Acuna scored the go-ahead run by racing home from second after Alonso’s single off the glove of third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes dribbled into the outfield.
Francisco Lindor’s error helped the Pirates tie the score in the ninth. Lindor, however, reached with one out in the bottom half of the inning after his grounder up the middle bounced off the bag and past Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was charged with an error.
Lindor raced from first to third on Juan Soto’s single to right-center before trotting home on Alonso’s fly out in the Mets’ 4-3 victory.
“We’ve got some guys who can put up some good numbers offensively and hit the ball a long way and stuff like that,” Alonso said. “But at the end of the day, our identity is we’re just a scrappy team. We fight to the last out and that’s just who we are.”
Pittsburgh played its fourth straight one-run game Monday under new manager Don Kelly, who is 2-2 since taking over for Derek Shelton last Thursday.
Kiner-Falefa homered in the second inning before the Pirates benefited from small ball in the seventh and ninth.
In addition, Kiner-Falefa backed up Hayes and nearly threw out Acuna in the seventh, when his throw to the plate beat Acuna. Acuna, however, eluded the tag of catcher Henry Davis.
“Tough hops in the last inning, but we’re in these (games),” Kiner-Falefa said. “If we had another at-bat, I think we would have scored a run. I think there’s just a belief that hasn’t been here at all.”
Senga earned the victory last Wednesday after allowing two hits over six scoreless innings as the Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-1. Keller took the loss Wednesday after giving up three runs over six innings as the Pirates fell to the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-0.
Senga won his lone previous start against the Pirates on June 10, 2023, when he gave up an unearned run over seven innings in the Mets’ 5-1 victory in Pittsburgh. Keller is 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in four starts versus New York.

NBA Draft Lottery takeaways: Mavericks stun, Spurs have options, 76ers cash in
John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter <!--> --> It was as stunning as it was wild and unpredictable all rolled into one. On Monday night in Chicago, Nico Harrison and the Dallas Mavericks received an unimaginable gift from the basketball gods. A get-out-of-jail-free card. A second chance to right the ship after their decision to move on from Luka Dončić and trade him to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis, in what has already been determined an all-time swing-and-a-miss by Dallas for a variety of reasons. It is still surreal to say this: the Mavericks, with a 1.8% chance to come out with the No. 1 pick in the draft, won the lottery and made themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in the process because they now get to select Cooper Flagg. It marked the fourth-lowest percentage chance of reeling in […]

Muller rechaça status de Abel Ferreira, do Palmeiras, no Brasil: “Exagero”
Abel Ferreira, em jogo do Palmeiras (Foto: Cesar Greco/Palmeiras/by Canon) Muller não tem dúvidas do melhor treinador do futebol brasileiro na atualidade. Diante do trabalho histórico de Abel Ferreira no Palmeiras, o comentarista foi convicto ao colocar o português no patamar mais elevado. Porém, levando em conta os profissionais que fizeram história no passado, o status de top-1 de todos os tempos é visto como algo bastante exagerado. “É o melhor treinador do futebol brasileiro de agora.”, disse Muller, no podcast Tá no Jogo, da Gazeta Esportiva. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Não, aí é exagero (melhor de todos os tempos). A gente não pode falar uma coisa dessa. ‘O Abel é o maior treinador da história do futebol brasileiro’.

MLB was wrong to reinstate Pete Rose: Why nothing has changed about hits leader’s baseball gambling
Getty Images Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that Pete Rose and 16 others, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, have been reinstated from the permanently ineligible list. Among the most meaningful changes associated with that decision is that these dead players will now be eligible for Hall of Fame induction by committee (rather than BBWAA vote). For baseball, that was the wrong decision.First, let's review. The facts of the case are these, and they are indisputable: MLB Rule 21(d) states: "(2) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible."That rule was instituted in 1921 and was posted in every clubhouse for decades. Pete Rose willingly violated the rule both as a player and […]
