Behind Griffin Canning, Mets face Astros in series finale

On Friday, the Mets, managed by Carlos Mendoza, defeated the Houston Astros, managed by Joe Espada, with a score of 3-1, setting up an interleague series rubber match on Saturday night.
The Mets' rotation was pieced together because Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas were sidelined with injuries, creating opportunities for Tylor Megill and Griffin Canning.
Griffin Canning, a right-hander who signed with the Mets in December and finished spring training with a 2-1 record and a 1.88 ERA, will start the series finale for the Mets on Saturday, despite a career 0-3 record against the Astros.
Joe Espada emphasized the importance of walks, stating, "Do that throughout the season, you're going to find yourself in good hitters' counts, and then you start getting a lot of runs scored," referencing the nine walks the Astros had in two days.
Spencer Arrighetti, a right-hander who earned AL Rookie of the Month honors last August and is scheduled to start for the Astros on Saturday, had a 7-13 record with a 4.53 ERA in 2024.
