The Mets have started the season strongly with an 18-7 record, and a standout aspect of this success is their starting rotation. Despite pre-season injuries to key pitchers like Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea, the team has adapted with their current starters. After Miguel Andujar's recent home run ended a significant homerless streak of 12 games for Mets' starters, the rotation has remarkably posted a 2.33 ERA, the best in MLB, thanks to effective pitching strategy focused on minimizing home runs.
The homer by the A's infielder in the sixth inning that night is notable because it was the last one surrendered by a Mets starting pitcher.
The Mets' 18-7 start this season has brought many surprises, perhaps none larger than the performance by a starting rotation that was a question mark as spring training began.
But in Canning, Clay Holmes, Tylor Megill, Kodai Senga and David Peterson, the Mets have found a workable mix.
It starts with keeping the ball in the park, a significant reason the Mets rank first in MLB with a 2.33 ERA by their starting rotation.
