MLB roundup: Mets lose Griffin Canning, still shut out Braves
June 27 - Five pitchers combined for a three-hit shutout as the New York Mets overcame the loss of starting pitcher Griffin Canning to a left ankle injury to stop the visiting Atlanta Braves 4-0 Thursday night and earn a split of the teams' four-game series. Canning was injured after throwing a pitch that retired Nick Allen on a grounder to short for the second out of the top of the third inning. Attempting to run to back up third in case Eli White tried to advance from second, Canning crumpled to the ground with his left leg in the air. After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters the team believes it is an Achilles injury and Canning will undergo an MRI exam. Austin Warren (1-0), making his second appearance this year, worked 2 1/3 innings and allowed only one hit to earn the win. Dedniel Nunez, Ryne Stanek and Edwin Diaz polished off the game by allowing just one baserunner over four innings. Grant Holmes (4-7) absorbed the loss after permitting two runs on six hits and three walks in five innings. He fanned six. Tigers 8, Athletics 0 Dietrich Enns pitched five scoreless innings in his first major league outing since 2021 as host Detroit silenced the Athletics. Enns, who made nine relief appearances with Tampa Bay four seasons ago before pitching in Japan and Korea, was called up from Triple-A Toledo to make a spot start. He held the Athletics to one hit and two walks while striking out four. Brenan Hanifee, Tyler Holton, Chase Lee and Will Vest each tossed an inning of scoreless relief. Gleyber Torres hit a two-run homer and Spencer Torkelson supplied a solo blast. Zach McKinstry and Jahmai Jones drove in two runs apiece. A's starter Jeffrey Springs (6-6) gave up three runs in five innings. Dodgers 3, Rockies 1 Clayton Kershaw boosted his career strikeout total to 2,997 while allowing two hits and one run over six innings as Los Angeles wrapped up a three-game series over Colorado in Denver. Kershaw (4-0) fanned five to move closer to becoming the 20th pitcher in major league history to reach the 3,000-strikeout milestone. Shohei Ohtani slugged his National League-high 28th home run while Teoscar Hernandez and Mookie Betts notched two hits apiece. Rockies starter Austin Gomber gave up four hits and one run over five innings before giving way to Angel Chivilli (1-3), who allowed Freddie Freeman's tie-breaking single in the sixth. Brenton Doyle gave Colorado a 1-0 lead in the second with a homer, his first since May 27. Astros 2, Phillies 1 Cam Smith's RBI single with two outs in the eighth snapped a tie and gave host Houston a three-game sweep of Philadelphia. The Astros won the series by a combined score of 5-1. Starter Hunter Brown allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings -- striking out seven -- before Bryan Abreu (3-3) finished with four straight strikeouts. Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez struck out 11 in six-plus innings while giving up one run on five hits. Rafael Marchan went 2-for-3 while Brandon Marsh lofted a sacrifice fly in the eighth to snap the Phillies' 26-inning scoreless streak. Cubs 3, Cardinals 0 Pitching for the first time since May 4 due to a hamstring strain, Shota Imanaga allowed just one hit over five innings as Chicago shut out host St. Louis for the second day in a row to split their four-game series. Imanaga (4-2) struck out three and walked one before giving way to Caleb Thielbar, Brad Keller, Drew Pomeranz and Daniel Palencia (6th save). Michael Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs while Carson Kelly added two hits. Cardinals starter Andre Pallante (5-4) gave up seven hits and two runs over five innings. Alec Burleson's ninth-inning double was the only extra-base hit among St. Louis' three safeties. Rays 4, Royals 0 Shane Baz retired 19 batters in a row while throwing eight shutout innings as Tampa Bay completed a three-game sweep at Kansas City. Baz (8-3) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out nine in his career-long outing. Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero hit back-to-back homers in the sixth while Josh Lowe went 3-for-4 with a double and a steal. Michael Lorenzen (4-8) gave up eight hits and four runs over 5 2/3 innings. Jonathan India and Vinnie Pasquantino posted two hits apiece for the Royals, who have scored just four runs during their five-game losing streak. Blue Jays 6, Guardians 0 Kevin Gausman scattered two hits and one walk over eight innings as Toronto claimed the rubber game of a three-game series at Cleveland. Gausman (6-6) struck out six before giving way to Chad Green for the ninth. Nathan Lukes and Alejandro Kirk poked two-run singles and Myles Straw notched two hits for the Blue Jays. Guardians starter Tanner Bibee (4-8) extended his winless streak to six starts despite allowing just three hits and three runs (two earned) while fanning seven. Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero and Cleveland's Jose Ramirez each left the game after taking hit-by-pitches on the arm, but X-rays on both were negative. Twins 10, Mariners 1 Trevor Larnach homered, singled, drove in three runs and scored twice for Minnesota, which routed Seattle to earn a split of the four-game series in Minneapolis. Brooks Lee and Matt Wallner also homered, Carlos Correa had two RBIs and Byron Buxton scored two runs in the leadoff spot for the Twins, who have won two in a row following a five-game skid. Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson (3-4) came in winless in his past six starts, but he earned the victory after allowing just two hits over five shutout innings. He struck out six and walked one. Marlins 12, Giants 5 Following early-inning lead changes and a fiery first inning, Miami pulled away from San Francisco to seal a road sweep. Several Giants batters were hit in Wednesday's extra-innings affair, prompting starter Hayden Birdsong to fire a 97 mph fastball at Otto Lopez in the first frame. The umpiring crew issued a warning to each team, which Marlins manager Clayton McCullough objected to, resulting in his ejection. The Marlins notched five runs over the first five innings, powered by homers from Kyle Stowers and Agustin Ramirez. San Francisco responded by knotting the game at five after a two-run shot by Rafael Devers in the second and three more runs in the fourth. Miami then scored seven unanswered runs -- three in the fifth inning and four in the eighth inning -- to put the game out of San Francisco's reach. --Field Level Media

Mets RHP Griffin Canning heading for MRI on injured ankle
June 27 - New York Mets starting pitcher Griffin Canning was helped off the field Thursday night after sustaining a left ankle injury in the third inning of their home game against the Atlanta Braves. After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters the team believes it is an Achilles injury and that Canning would undergo an MRI exam. Canning threw a pitch to Atlanta shortstop Nick Allen, who grounded out to shortstop Francisco Lindor. Planting his leg to run to back up third base, Canning crumpled to the ground and held his left leg in the air. Mets catcher Luis Torrens waved for the training staff and Mendoza to attend to Canning before the out was recorded. The right-hander pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and fanning three with no walks. Austin Warren relieved Canning and retired Ronald Acuna Jr. on a popup to second, ending the inning. The Mets wound up with a 4-0 victory, and Warren got the win after tossing 2 1/3 shutout innings. Canning has a 7-3 record and a 3.77 ERA through 15 starts this year. He has matched up career-high win total, and the ERA is the best in his six major league seasons. --Field Level Media

Austin Warren comes up big in relief right after Mets call-up
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets immediately threw their call-up into the fire in front of a sold-out Citi Field crowd Thursday night. Following Griffin Canning's surprising early exit due to what the Mets believe to be an Achilles tear just 2 ²/₃ innings into the series finale against the Braves, Austin Warren was called out of the bullpen after being brought up Thursday morning from Triple-A Syracuse in place of Jonathan Pintaro. Advertisement Despite heavy circumstances, Warren delivered. In 2 ¹/₃ innings, he only allowed one hit and struck out two batters, earning the win in the Mets' 4-0 victory over Atlanta in front of 42,646 fans. 'Adrenaline kicked in right away and took over,' Warren said. 'First off, I just want to pray for Griff. Hopefully he is all right, but I'm glad we could get the 'W' for him.' Austin Warren pitches during the Mets-Braves game on June 26, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Advertisement Not only did the righty have the weight of helping split the series with their NL East rivals and earning the Mets their third win in the last 13 games on his shoulders, but Canning is a close friend of Warren's and the two were drafted a year apart by the Angels in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Canning's injury marked the third starting pitcher the Mets have lost to the injury list in two weeks. 'It was definitely tough [to watch],' Warren said. 'When I saw him go down, I instantly jumped up, got moving around and sure enough, my name was called. … I'm close with Griff. When I debuted, he was with the Angels in the big leagues and we hung out a few times. Griff's a great guy, and like I said, I hate that happened to him tonight.' Advertisement It was Warren's first major league win since 2023. The Mets claimed the 29-year-old off waivers from the Giants in January. In the minors, Warren built up to around 40 pitches after being limited to six appearances in 2024 due to recovery from Tommy John surgery in May 2023. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Advertisement Warren posted a 3.94 ERA at Triple-A Syracuse and tallied 35 strikeouts across 19 games. In 40 big league appearances after Thursday, he has a 2.94 ERA. He was able to give the Mets 32 pitches, including 22 strikes. Austin Warren throws a pitch during the fourth inning on Thursday night. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post 'He [Carlos Mendoza] told me every time I came in to just keep filling it up,' Warren said. 'I know they needed a couple of innings out of me and obviously pitch count is a big thing. … I'm just glad I filled it up. Defense had some plays behind me, had a few punchouts, and yeah, it worked out.'
