Pintaro (1-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Nationals after allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings.
Pintaro entered the game in the sixth inning with New York trailing 1-0 and kept Washington off the board long enough for the offense to take the lead in the bottom half of the frame. The right-hander allowed two baserunners in the sixth but retired all three batters he faced in the seventh before departing. In the end, he needed 34 pitches to secure his first major-league victory. Pintaro has made eight appearances in relief for the Mets this season and owns a 4.15 ERA with a 18:8 K:BB across 17.1 innings.

Mets' Jonathan Pintaro: Moves up to big leagues
Rotowire
The Mets selected Pintaro's contract from Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday.
A 27-year-old righty who went undrafted out of Division II Shorter University in 2022, Pintaro made a rapid ascent to the big leagues after he had been pitching in independent ball in Montana a year ago before signing a minor-league deal with the Mets last June. He's thrived while pitching out of the rotation with Binghamton in 2025, turning in a 3.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 57:15 K:BB across 42.1 innings. Pintaro will work in long relief for the Mets initially, though he could garner consideration for a starting role with the big club at some point if a rotation spot opens up.
