Canning (6-3) took the loss in Sunday's game against the Rays. He conceded six runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings with two strikeouts.
Despite not yielding an extra-base hit, Canning allowed a season-worst six earned runs mostly because he issued five free passes, also a season worst. He generated an uninspiring eight whiffs out of his 89 total pitches. After producing a 2.36 ERA across his first 42 frames, Canning sports a 6.08 ERA with a lackluster 21:17 K:BB in 26.2 innings over his last six outings. Things won't get easier for the New York right-hander, as he currently lines up to make his next start at division rival Philadelphia next weekend.

Mets' Griffin Canning: Hit hard by Nats
Rotowire
Canning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Washington, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Canning was not as sharp Tuesday after blanking the Dodgers over six innings in his previous start. He tied his season highs in hits and earned runs allowed, and he yielded a pair of home runs. Still, it's been a strong season for the 29-year-old, who has taken just one loss since his season debut. He has tallied a 3.22 ERA over 64.1 innings in 2025 and is tentatively lined up to face the Rays on Sunday.

Mets' Griffin Canning: Stifles Dodgers in victory
Rotowire
Canning (6-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
Canning is in the midst of a very good campaign, but he had hit a rough patch in his previous two starts, allowing eight runs (six earned) while posting a 6:8 K:BB over 5.2 innings. The right-hander rebounded in a big way Wednesday, notching arguably his best start as a Met. Canning's seven punchouts against Los Angeles were his second most this season, and this was the first time this year he's tossed a quality start in which he allowed zero runs. The veteran hurler is on pace to record a career-best mark with a 2.90 ERA through 12 outings, and his next start is projected to be a home matchup against Washington.
Mets' Griffin Canning: Lasts three innings in loss
Rotowire
Canning (5-2) took the loss Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts over three innings
Canning had his previous start interrupted by a third-inning rain delay and could only complete three frames in Wednesday's uninterrupted outing. The Mets' defense didn't do Canning any favors, with a pair of errors in the second inning resulting in two unearned runs. Still, Canning struggled to find the strike zone, walking four batters for a second consecutive appearance. In his last five starts, Canning has accumulated a 4.09 ERA and a 19:11 K:BB over 22.0 innings. He's set to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles next time out.
Canning didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers, coughing up three runs on one hit and four walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out one.
The right-hander couldn't find the plate on a wet evening at Citi Field, tossing only 27 of 54 pitches for strikes before a 98-minute rain delay ended his night. When play resumed, Max Kranick allowed both runners he inherited from Canning to score. The four walks were a season high for Canning, but the conditions likely played a role -- it's only the second time in his last six starts that he's issued multiple free passes. He'll take a 2.88 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 47:21 K:BB through 50 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the White Sox.

Mets' Griffin Canning: Settles for no-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Canning came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Yankees, giving up two runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander saw his streak of five straight starts allowing one run or fewer come to an end, but it was still a stingy performance. Canning racked up 30 called or swinging strikes among his 92 pitches (64 total strikes), and he'll take a 2.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 46:17 K:BB through 47.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Dodgers.

Mets' Griffin Canning: Collects second quality start
Rotowire
Canning took a no-decision in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs, pitching six innings during which he yielded one run while allowing two hits and a walk. He struck out five.
The New York right-hander continued his superlative run in this 92-pitch outing and picked up his first quality start since April 17 against St. Louis. The only blemish on Canning's performance came in the sixth frame when Pete Crow-Armstrong popped a solo homer. Through 42 total innings, Canning sports a 2.36 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next weekend.
Mets' Griffin Canning: Settles in after leadoff homer
Rotowire
Canning (5-1) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Canning's second pitch of the outing was taken deep by Corbin Carroll. Other than that, it was another respectable start for Canning, who avoided walking multiple batters for the second time in seven starts this season. He wasn't quite at his best, but he was good enough to earn a fifth straight win. Over 36 innings this season, he has a strong 2.50 ERA, but his 1.39 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB are not as encouraging. Canning has made improvements by inducing more groundballs -- per Statcast, he's at a 51.7 percent groundball rate in his first year with the Mets compared to 41.3 percent in 2024 with the Angels. Canning's next start is projected to be this weekend at home versus the Cubs.

Mets' Griffin Canning: Cruises to fourth win
Rotowire
Canning (4-1) earned the win Monday at Washington, allowing four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.
The 28-year-old right-hander continued his resurgent season with this 90-pitch performance, generating 10 whiffs. Canning has been especially stingy of late, conceding just two runs over his last 16 innings (1.13 ERA) with a 1.25 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB. Overall, he's pitched to a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 31 innings. Canning is currently scheduled to make his next start at St. Louis this weekend.
Canning (3-1) earned the win against the Phillies on Tuesday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings.
Canning tied a season high with seven hits allowed, but he managed to limit the damage to one run on an RBI single by Johan Rojas in the second inning. Four of Canning's five strikeouts came over his last two innings of work, and he finished the game tossing 84 pitches (54 strikes) while generating 15 first-pitch strikes and 12 whiffs. Canning has a 3.12 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 26 innings to begin the season, and he's lined up to face off against the Nationals next week on the road.
Mets' Griffin Canning: Six strong innings in second win
Rotowire
Canning (2-1) picked up the win Thursday against the Cardinals after allowing one run on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out eight.
The veteran right-hander was sharp Thursday while firing six innings for the first time this season. He scattered three singles, one of which did score Victor Scott in the third inning following a stolen base and a wild pitch, but Canning appeared to be well over the illness that cost him Wednesday's scheduled start against the Twins. Canning holds a serviceable 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over four starts (21 innings), but he could find difficulty turning in a repeat performance in a tougher matchup against the Phillies next week.
