Aug. 17 9:23 AM PT10:23 AM MT11:23 AM CT12:23 PM ET4:23 PM GMT12:23 AM 北京时间9:23 AM MST11:23 AM EST-Takahashi worked a perfect ninth in Monday's 3-1 win over the Astros, filling in as closer on the day the Mets learned K-Rod will miss the rest of the year. The four-time All-Star needs season-ending surgery on a torn thumb ligament in his pitching hand sustained during a fight with his girlfriend's father at Citi Field last week.
Analysis: Mets manager Jerry Manuel said before the game that he might use several relievers to fill the role, but after the game he said he'd probably leave Takahashi in the position. "Sure. Oh yeah. I think he can get it done for us," Manuel said. "I think the key becomes resiliency. If we happen to get on a run, how many days can he go back-to-back? I think that would be the real key." Takahashi made 12 starts this year. |

July 23 1:04 PM PT2:04 PM MT3:04 PM CT4:04 PM ET8:04 PM GMT4:04 AM 北京时间1:04 PM MST3:04 PM EST-Takahashi allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings, struck out five and walked two in the Mets' 2-0 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.
Analysis: "I think (Takahashi) wanted to prove that he can still start and be a contributor at this level,'' manager Jerry Manuel said. "That's the motivation that he has. He wants to stay in the rotation, which is what you want.'' Takahashi came in 1-2 with a 9.30 ERA in his previous five outings, four of which were starts. |
July 18 1:13 PM PT2:13 PM MT3:13 PM CT4:13 PM ET8:13 PM GMT4:13 AM 北京时间1:13 PM MST3:13 PM EST-Takahashi, who was moved up in the rotation because of Mike Pelfrey's stiff neck, allowed six runs and seven hits in 2 2-3 innings as the Mets lost 8-4 at San Francisco on Saturday.

Analysis: Takahashi has been erratic since entering the rotation, with four stellar starts and three poor ones. Perhaps he was distracted Thursday - he proudly showed off a Japanese soccer jersey in the clubhouse before the game and watched on an overhead TV set as his home country beat Denmark to advance in the World Cup. |

Analysis: Promoted from long relief to help an injury-depleted rotation, the 35-year-old rookie from Japan is 3-1 in six starts. ``He really made some adjustments,'' Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. ``To watch him manage that lineup for six innings was impressive. You never got the feeling that he was going to flinch. He stayed within the moment and pitched extremely well.'' |

Analysis: The 35-year-old left-hander, in the rotation because of injuries to Jonathon Niese and John Maine, and Oliver Perez's inability to throw strikes, and in his first two starts he has gone six innings giving up five hits in both and no runs. |
