MLB Posts Strong Griffin Canning Statement Amid Dodgers Series
MLB Posts Strong Griffin Canning Statement Amid Dodgers Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets have been hot of late. They have won nine of their last 11 games, and on Wednesday, they looked to take a 2-1 lead in their current four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement This series is a rematch of last October's National League Championship Series, which L.A. won in six games. The Mets held on to win the first game of this series by a final score of 4-3 on Monday before some late-game heroics by Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman sunk them in extra innings on Tuesday. In Wednesday's game, New York pitcher Griffin Canning shut out the Dodgers in six innings of work, allowing the team to win, 6-1. It was his seventh start this year in which he has allowed no more than one run. Since entering Major League Baseball in 2019 as a member of the Los Angeles Angels, Canning hasn't made the All-Star team, and his lowest ERA in a full season was 3.99, which he achieved in 2020. But that year, he won the Gold Glove award. Advertisement He signed as a free agent with the Mets in December. He could be en route to a career year, as he had an ERA of 3.23 and a 5-2 record coming into Wednesday.

Afterward, New York will head east for a three-game road series versus the Colorado Rockies.
