Pirates' Mitch Keller ends 15-start winless streak
PITTSBUURGH (AP) — Mitch Keller hadn't won a game since the early days of the season. 'It was just a great team win. That's what matters to me, team wins, and I was just glad to do my part," the 29-year-old right-hander said after leading the Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Mets 9-1 on Friday night. "You only have so much control over individual wins, which is why I don't worry about them.' Advertisement Keller (2-10) allowed one run and five hits in 5 1/3 innings with four strikeouts and a walk. He had been 0-10 with a 4.10 ERA in 15 starts since winning at Miami on March 28, the longest winless streak within a season in Pirates history. Pittsburgh hadn't scored more than four runs in any of Keller's previous starts. 'They were swinging early in the game but then I was able to start getting some quick outs,' Keller said. 'I started throwing more strikes and I think that was the difference.' Juan Soto homered in the fourth, his 20th this season. Keller was pulled at 91 pitches in the sixth inning with a 5-1 lead after walking Soto and allowing a single to Pete Alonso. Advertisement 'For Mitch, that was awesome,' Pirates manager Don Kelly said. 'He did what he's done consistently throughout this year. Pitched really, really well against a really good team. To score some runs for him felt really good, and to get him the win was great.' ___ AP MLB: John Perrotto, The Associated Press

Pete Alonso contract sparks backlash as MLB expert reveals Mets' biggest 2025 failure
Pete Alonso contract sparks backlash as MLB expert reveals Mets' biggest 2025 failure (Image via Getty) Did the Mets drop the ball when re-signing Pete Alonso? After a tense offseason of talks, the star slugger agreed to a two-year, $54 million deal with an opt-out clause. But one expert says the team showed disrespect by not offering a long-term contract upfront. Now, with Alonso hitting .292, driving 18 homers and adding 65 RBIs by June 27, many wonder if the Mets misjudged his value . Pete Alonso and New York Mets faced 'offseason disrespect' criticism Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly named the Mets' handling of Alonso's deal one of MLB's '10 Biggest Fails' of 2025. Kelly wrote that teams needing power left first base untouched in talks with Alonso, saying it was 'egg on your face' now that he's off to a career year. Alonso hit 34 homers in 2024 with a .788 OPS, showing postseason strength, yet still didn't land a big offer during the offseason. Alonso's current numbers back up Kelly's point: as of June 27, he slashes .292 with a .933 OPS, 18 homers and 65 RBIs, the best of his career. Kelly warned the Mets that once Alonso opts out, he'd likely seek a bigger deal, leaving New York out in the cold.

Mets Make Griffin Canning Announcement After Leaving Braves Game
Mets Make Griffin Canning Announcement After Leaving Braves Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets were 2-8 over their last 10 games heading into Thursday's bout with the Atlanta Braves, but it seemed like their fortunes were turning after Wednesday's 7-3 win. The victory put them just a half-game behind the Philadelphia Phillies atop the NL East with right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning getting the start in Thursday's series finale. Advertisement Canning came into the contest 7-3 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 73.2 innings pitched. The 29-year-old has been a steady presence in New York's injury-riddled rotation since signing with the team in December. However, Canning left Thursday's game with a leg injury after throwing a pitch and landing awkwardly off the mound (via SNY). New York Mets starting pitcher Griffin Canning (46)© Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Canning finished with one hit allowed over 2.2 innings of shutout ball. The former Los Angeles Angel was replaced by right-handed reliever Austin Warren. The Mets later announced that the veteran was removed with a left ankle ailment, via their social media. He will undergo imaging. Advertisement Canning could now join fellow starters Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill on the IL. Frankie Montas just recently came off the IL for New York after rehabbing a lat strain, and Sean Manaea is on the mend as well. However, the club's star trio of Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and Francisco Lindor have stayed healthy on the other side of the ball. After Thursday's matchup, the Mets will hit the road for a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. After that, they'll return home to host the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees. They will then go back on the road to play the Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals.
