Mets' Griffin Canning showed 'complete control' in impressive birthday outing
Briefly

Griffin Canning shined on a momentous day—his birthday, his mother's birthday, and Mother's Day—helping lead the Mets to a 6-2 win over the Cubs. The right-hander performed exceptionally well, allowing just one earned run over six innings, achieving five strikeouts and lowering his ERA to 2.36. Canning's early dominance set the tone for the game as he struck out three batters in a row. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Canning's control and effectiveness, particularly with his fastball, changeup, and slider, as he guided the team to victory at Citi Field.
Canning celebrated a rare trifecta on Sunday—his birthday, his mother's birthday, and Mother's Day—with a strong performance in a 6-2 victory over the Cubs.
I thought he had everything going today. It starts with the fastball, especially at the top to get swings and misses...I thought he was in complete control of the game.
