The New York Mets secured a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, marking their second win of the season. But it wasn't just the action on the field that caught attention; the Mets' fanbase made their presence felt with a chant aimed at Pirates' slugger Marcell Ozuna.

During the seventh inning, Mets fans erupted into a “DUI” chant as Ozuna stepped up to bat. The 35-year-old right-hander, who has a history with such incidents, ended his at-bat with a flyout to right field.
To rewind a bit, Ozuna's DUI arrest dates back to 2022 when he was pulled over in Norcross, Georgia, allegedly driving 90 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. This led to charges of DUI and failure to maintain his lane.
By May 2023, Ozuna had reached a plea agreement, which included a $1,000 fine. Notably, this was separate from his 2021 domestic abuse arrest, and he has kept a clean slate since the DUI incident.
The fans' choice to bring up past events was certainly a bold move, aiming to rattle Ozuna. Whether it worked is up for debate, but the result was an out that closed the top of the seventh inning.
On the field, the Mets' offense wasn't as explosive as their Opening Day performance, but Luis Robert Jr. stood out. He delivered the team's only home run and drove in three RBIs, showcasing his potential to be a key player this season.
