**Headline: Warren Shines in Relief After Canning Injury, Mets Beat Braves**

**New York, NY** – In a dramatic turn of events at Citi Field Thursday night, Austin Warren, recently called up from Triple-A Syracuse, delivered a stellar performance in relief, earning the win as the Mets shut out the Atlanta Braves 4-0. Warren’s unexpected entry came after Mets starter Griffin Canning suffered an apparent Achilles tear just 2 ⅔ innings into the game.

The injury to Canning, the third Mets starting pitcher sidelined in the last two weeks, threw the team’s plans into disarray. Warren, who replaced Jonathan Pintaro, was thrust into a high-pressure situation with the Mets looking to split the series against their NL East rivals and snap a recent slump.

Despite the difficult circumstances and the emotional toll of seeing Canning, a close friend and former teammate in the Angels organization, go down with an injury, Warren rose to the occasion. He pitched 2 ⅓ innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two, earning his first major league win since 2023.

“Adrenaline kicked in right away,” Warren said after the game. “First off, I just want to pray for Griff. Hopefully, he is alright, but I’m glad we could get the ‘W’ for him.”

The 29-year-old right-hander, claimed off waivers from the Giants in January, has been working his way back from Tommy John surgery in 2023. After building up his pitch count in the minors, he was ready to contribute, throwing 32 pitches (22 strikes) and filling up the strike zone at the direction of manager Carlos Mendoza.

“He [Carlos Mendoza] told me every time I came in to just keep filling it up,” Warren said. “I know they needed a couple of innings out of me and obviously pitch count is a big thing. … I’m just glad I filled it up.”

The victory was a much-needed boost for the Mets and a testament to Warren’s resilience and preparedness. This is Warren’s first year in the Majors for the Mets and in 40 big league appearances after Thursday, he has a 2.94 ERA.
