Bo Bichette Goes 5 for 5 and Sean Manaea Strikes Out 11 in Mets’ 11-1 Rout of Pirates
Bo Bichette achieved his first five-hit game as a Met, the ninth such performance in Major League Baseball this season, contributing to an 11-1 rout.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, 2026, New York Mets star Bo Bichette went 5-for-5 with three RBI in an 11-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
This marks Bichette's first five-hit game as a Met, though he recorded four such performances as a Toronto Blue Jay between August 12, 2020 and July 27, 2025.
Bichette drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning; Luis Robert Jr. and Francisco Alvarez also homered during the offensive surge.
Sean Manaea anchored the pitching staff with seven innings and 11 strikeouts, the most by a New York starter this season, limiting Pittsburgh to one run.
The Mets improved to 5-1 on their nine-game road trip and head to Atlanta for a Monday series, while the Pirates travel to Miami on Tuesday.
