Edwin Díaz Struggling Early: ERA Climbs to 11.57
The Mets closer has been ineffective in early 2025, surrendering runs in a loss situation against Milwaukee with runners still on base.
Edwin Díaz entered a game against the Brewers with inherited runners and allowed a run-scoring single to Jake Bauers off Alex Vesia, pushing Milwaukee to a 5-4 lead. His ERA now sits at 11.57 on the season, a significant concern for a reliever expected to be a high-leverage closer. At least one inherited runner remained on base when the update was posted. His early-season struggles raise questions about his reliability in close games.
