Denver – Kodai Senga Reflects on Performance After Mets’ Win

After the Mets triumphed over the Rockies with a 4-2 score on Friday, Kodai Senga took a moment to contemplate his outing.

What stood out for him during the game? Well, he chuckled and admitted, “I don’t know yet.”

Senga, who set a career high with 109 pitches, had a solid performance by allowing just one hit and striking out two in six innings.

Interestingly, Mickey Moniak was the only player to hit him hard, smashing three home runs.

Starting the game with an impressive ERA of 1.60, he ended up lowering it slightly to 1.59.

Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Senga, noting, “[Senga] is always bringing ace-like performances. From the very first pitch, he shows strength and effectively utilizes all his pitches.”

Completing the sixth inning proved slightly challenging for Senga due to the high pitch count. “I felt the importance of each pitch,” he said. “The movement wasn’t quite what I aimed for, but I pushed through and managed to finish the inning.”

Meanwhile, Sean Manaea had a rough start in his first minor league rehab appearance for Single A Brooklyn, throwing 36 pitches while giving up four runs, struck out two, and surrendered four hits. This marked his first left-handed appearance this season as he continues to recover from diagonal tensions sustained during spring training.

In Coors Field, Wyoming native Brandonnimo didn’t have the best night at the plate, striking out in five at-bats despite having an impressive .365/.429/.525 career slash line at the venue.

On another note, Jeff McNeil and comedian Hank Azaria are set to host their second annual poker event at Citifield on Monday, with proceeds supporting the Metropolitan PGA Foundation and various projects aimed at promoting education and well-being in underserved communities.
