On September 6th, the Metz dropped the game to the Giants, giving up nine runs to five. San Francisco really hit the ball well, launching six home runs against Metz pitching. Zach Thornton had a rough outing allowing four of those homers, but on a brighter note, AJ. Ewing managed to hit one out of the park for the first time since July. Ewing's been showing some sparks at the plate lately, and that home run yesterday might be a sign he's finally breaking out of his slump. While the 2026 season isn't looking like a winner for the Metz, they're already looking ahead to 2027, with September offering a chance to evaluate. Talent. There's also news about Jonah Tongue, who's set to start tomorrow's game against the Marlins. This season has been a tough one for the Metz, putting them in the conversation with the Mariners and Tigers as this year's biggest disappointments. On the awards front, Juan Soto picked up his third Latino MVP award, a significant honor. And in a lighter moment, Mrs. Metz was inducted into the mascot hall of fame at City Field.
Sadly, we also heard about the passing of Joe McDonald, who was the Metz general manager back in the late 70s. Across the league, Zach Wheeler had a strong performance for the Phillies against the Braves, and the nationals lost a close one to the Dodgers. Despite Shohei Otonne's absence, the Marlins also lost the tight game to the Cubs and released veteran infielder Leo Jimenez.
