Overview
- Senga, who faced the Giants on Sunday at Oracle Park, worked 5.2 innings with two runs and seven strikeouts to bring his ERA to 3.09.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza called the performance outstanding and said Senga dominated a lineup that produced only two hard-hit balls.
- Reporters noted a late-game drop in his fastball, which opened near 96 mph and finished around 93–94 after sitting 97.4 mph in his previous start.
- Early indicators are strong with 16 strikeouts in 11.2 innings and a faster four-seamer that is helping his forkball and cutter play up.
- The Mets’ rotation has opened with a 3.13 ERA and the third-most starter innings in MLB, and Senga’s next turn is slated for Saturday at Citi Field on extra rest.
