Opening Day: Freddy Peralta Leads Mets, Paul Skenes Faces Familiar Foe
The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets kick off their 2026 season on March 26th. Freddy Peralta, a 29-year-old right-hander, starts for the Mets, joining them after eight years with the Milwaukee Brewers. Peraltas impressive 2025 season earned him the spot, with a 2.70 ERA and over 200 strikeouts for three consecutive years. The Brewers traded him and Tobias Myers to the Mets for top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Peralta as the clear front of the rotation, seeing him as a key piece after their late collapse last year. Paul Skenes, the 2025 National League Cy Young winner, takes the mound for the Pirates, facing Peralta who has a 3.36 ERA over 99 innings in 25 career starts against Pittsburgh. The game streams live on Peacock, with the Pirates boasting an improved lineup featuring Brandon Lowe, Ryan OHearn, Marcell Ozuna, and possibly top prospect Konnor Griffin.
