Griffin Canning delivered a stellar performance with five shutout innings in the New York Mets' 19-5 rout of the Washington Nationals. Despite pitching challenges throughout the game, Canning successfully navigated through tough situations, allowing no earned runs in his last three starts. He expressed a desire to improve his pitching execution, particularly with his changeup and slider. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Canning's ability to work through adversity and execute critical pitches. Meanwhile, the team is awaiting updates on A.J. Minter's injury, as they consider adjustments to their pitching roster in the upcoming games.
Canning, over his past three starts, has allowed two earned runs total.
I just think I can clean up some stuff with my execution of my changeup and slider when I am ahead in the count.
They made him work, he kept making pitches and he executed when he needed to and got strikeouts with the breaking ball and the slider.
Mendoza was still awaiting a prognosis on A.J. Minter, who was placed on the injured list Sunday.
