March 30, 2025 1:11 AM : Canning (0-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings against Houston.
Analysis: Canning went through the first four innings of Saturday's game unscathed but lost the shutout when he gave up a solo home run to Jeremy Pena in the fifth frame. Canning was close to earning a quality start, but his last pitch thrown was smacked into deep center field by Yordan Alvarez for an RBI double that gave the Astros a one-run lead in the sixth inning. The loss is disappointing, but it was a good start to Canning's Mets tenure, and it was promising to see his fastball top out at 96 mph after hovering around 93-to-94 mph in spring training. He'll look to earn his first win in a Mets uniform next week and is lined up to face the Blue Jays at home.
