The Mets recently faced a challenging week, struggling through a 3-4 record against the Diamondbacks and Cardinals. After a promising start to the season, the team's vulnerabilities were exposed, notably in the pitching department. Injuries have begun to take their toll, affecting both the starting rotation and bullpen with key players sidelined. Griffin Canning has emerged as a standout pitcher, winning five consecutive games, a feat not seen since Zack Wheeler in 2018. Furthermore, Pete Alonso is experiencing a remarkable transformation at the plate, showing signs of improved body control and mechanics, which has led to a potential offensive breakout. Meanwhile, Blade Tidwell made his MLB debut, providing a glimpse of his potential albeit not without typical rookie struggles.
