Sean Manaea's season seemed to change in 2024 after his trip to the UK for the London Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
He helped guide his team to 16 wins and just 4 defeats after the London Series with the Mets making it all the way to the Championship Series.
He's made a good start here as well, seeing off the Brewers comfortably in the second inning.

Cedric Mullins is out with a broken bat and the innings is over for the Mets, but they will be happy with their two runs.

Alonso is unable to continue the Mets impressive start as he is run out in a pressure-relieving double play for the Brewers.
But with Soto on third, Jeff McNeil hits over the infield for a single and the Mets have their second run.

New York Mets v Milwaukee Brewers
Venue: American Family Field, Milwaukee
Date: Sunday, 10 August
Coverage starts: 19:00 BST
Ahead of this weekend's series in Milwaukee, the New York Mets have been sliding badly.
The Mets have lost eight of their last ten games and came close to suffering a humiliating no-hitter at the Cleveland Guardians earlier in the week.
While the Mets are the most out-of-form team in Major League Baseball heading into this series, the Milwaukee Brewers are the most in-form.
Their nine wins in the last 10 games mean they have the best record of any team this season, winning a total of 70 and losing just 44.

Last December, the most expensive deal in professional sports history was signed and sealed.
Juan Soto landed the bumper $765 million contract, tying him down to the New York Mets for the next 15 years.
But who is Soto? And why was he offered so much to make the move? To find out more click here.
What does 'hitting cleanup' mean?published at 13:02 British Summer Time 8 August

This week Red Sox fan John in Scotland asked: "what does the term 'hitting cleanup' mean?"
The term refers to the fourth batter in the line-up - the "cleanup" hitter.
The opening three batters in the nine-man line-up are often strong hitters and quick base-runners, aiming primarily to get on base and give their team the best chance of scoring runs.
The batter in fourth position is expected to then "clean up" the bases, driving home any runners either by hitting a home run or by getting on base themselves.
Cleanup hitters tend to be the most powerful in the team because they need to be able to smash home runs, but the idea of a "cleanup hitter" has changed over time.
Teams are now often aiming to be more flexible with their line-ups by putting their best players up first to maximise their number of at-bats.
For example, Los Angeles Dodgers star player Shohei Ohtani usually bats at one or two in the line-up, while Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees tends to bat at three.
