New Look in New York: How Revamped Mets Spoiled Opening Day For Paul Skenes

Shows out in Pirates debut Lowe went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 11-7 loss against the Mets.

Impact Lowe made an immediate impact in his Pirates debut, launching a pair of homers in his first two at-bats, a two-run bomb in the first inning and solo shot in the third. It marked the ninth multi-homer game of the 31-year-old's career. If he can stay healthy, Lowe's power should remain a key asset for Pittsburgh after he hit .256 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI a season ago.

Lowe slashed .256/.307/.477 with three steals (on five attempts), 31 home runs and 83 RBI across 553 plate appearances in 2025.
