A.J. Ewing Launches First Career Home Run in Mets Sweep

Mets rookie A.J. Ewing reached a major career milestone on Thursday, hitting his first major league home run during a 9-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. His blast was a key component of a five-homer offensive surge that secured the team's first series sweep of the 2026 season. As a standout member of the 'Baby Mets' core alongside Carson Benge and Nolan McLean, Ewing is proving to be an integral part of the organization's current roster turnaround.
