Griffin Canning put on a stellar pitching performance, leading the New York Mets to a 4-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Canning allowed just one earned run, striking out eight batters over six innings, marking his best outing in a Mets uniform. After struggling with illness, he returned to the mound strong, displaying impressive command and efficiency, particularly in the later innings.

The Mets capitalized early with a robust second inning, scoring four runs off Andrew Pallante, including a home run from Mark Vientos. Despite a shaky start, Canning regained his composure, striking out batters and minimizing scoring threats effectively. The Mets' bullpen added to the victory, holding the Cardinals to just two baserunners in the last three innings.
