Lost Brandon's NemoTheir historic days against the Washington Nationals and the Mets' offense exploded 19 times on Monday, with their 20th victory being the starter Canned Griffin He went through five innings and started the season like the rest of New York starting pitchers.
Canning had to fight through these five frames in almost every inning, with the bottom traffic on them, but when he needed and left the game, the right-handed executed the court.
"I thought he was very good." The manager said Carlos Mendoza. "They let him work. He had to work a few innings… He had to pitch, keep on the court, be executed when needed, and hit the ball with sliders, with a breaking ball. Overall, I think this is good."
Facing a clumsy Nationals team, coming from behind in both wins in the series, Canning finds himself in a lot of trouble.
In fact, Washington had runners scoring positions in every game in the first four innings, and Canning had to manipulate his own way. He did.
The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $4.25 million for the offseason, at 2.61 ERA in his six games in his first season in New York. In four of these games, he allowed a run that made money or less and had the ability to remain calm under sticky conditions like the 1.39 whip.
"I think this is just a one-time mentality." Canning says get out of the situation. "Don't try to get rid of this situation. I think sometimes you get too big so just focus on executing one pitch at a time."
While the final score ended up blowing, these evacuations were due to the fact that the game was still tight and there was a lot of pressure on the can to maintain the lead, especially after Sunday’s frustrating losses.
Canning ended his outing with a 1-2-3 fifth inning, his first clean inning, which included two strikeouts. He completed five strikeouts and threw 90 balls (56 hits).
"good," He talked about his performance. "I want to learn more about the game. I just thought I could clean up something with the execution change and slider before counting, but I wouldn't complain about putting down five zeros."
So far, the knock on the can is his length. His game is no more than six innings, with an average of more than 5.1 innings per game.
But if the Mets didn't score a three-pointer in the first half, they could send him back to sixth place to make him appear when he led 6-0.
Anyway, Canning was a surprise for his new club after five seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, a 25-34 record for the 4.78 ERA.
It's too early to say what the season has been, but among the short-term chairs of the baseball business David Stearns Worth mentioning Roman pets and Frankie Mont.
