ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 Edwin Diaz\u2019s \u201cconviction\u201d has returned.<\/p>\n
In assessing his closer\u2019s success in three appearances off the injured list before Wednesday\u2019s game, manager Carlos Mendoza said Diaz\u2019s conviction and confidence in his pitches is probably the biggest reason for the right-hander\u2019s turnaround.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went through a lot,\u201d Mendoza said before the Mets\u2019 5-3 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Field. \u201cYou go through a stretch where it wasn\u2019t easy for him. I am pretty sure he was feeling it. At the end of the day the guy missed a whole year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diaz, who spent last season rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, pitched to an 8.68 ERA in May with four blown saves. <\/p>\n
In his three appearances since returning from a right shoulder impingement, Diaz \u2014 who didn\u2019t pitch in Wednesday\u2019s loss \u2014 hadn\u2019t allowed a run and converted both of his save opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is staying on the attack and continuing to make pitches,\u201d Mendoza said.<\/p>\n
Kodai Senga threw a bullpen session and is set to progress to facing hitters in a live batting practice session on Sunday or Monday, according to Mendoza. <\/p>\n
The right-hander had gotten as far as facing hitters last month before regressing in his rehab from a right shoulder strain.<\/p>\n
After he faces hitters, Senga still will have a minor league rehab assignment ahead of him, leaving him as a second-half possibility for the rotation if healthy.<\/p>\n
Jose Iglesias (0-for-2) started at second base, with Jeff McNeil (0-for-1) on the bench, against Texas left-hander Andrew Heaney. <\/p>\n
A night earlier Iglesias entered the game as a pinch hitter and was on the field in the ninth to help turn a 6-4-3 double play in a one-run game. <\/p>\n
Iglesias earned praised for hanging in to complete the double play with Davis Wendzel sliding hard into the bag. <\/p>\n
Brandon Nimmo hugged Iglesias after the play.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt says a lot about what is going on here as of late,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cHow much they care for each other and how much they want it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Mets\u2019 seven-game winning streak matched the club\u2019s longest in five years. <\/p>\n
The Mets won eight straight games in August 2019. <\/p>\n
The Mets\u2019 previous seven-game winning streak occurred in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
