Last season, Senga began only one game for METS in the regular season due to several ailments, but has recovered the form that showed a strong rookie campaign 2023.
“It doesn’t matter who we face: if they have an ace, we feel good with our chans when [Senga] Take the ball, “said Mendoza.” That is what you want. He is someone who will coincide with the best when he is healthy and feels good. “
On this day, it lasted 5 ²/₃ tickets and allowed three hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
