Making his first relief appearance, Kodai Senga pitched two-run ball over five innings to finish off Sunday’s game against the Phillies.

It went as a tough loss for Senga, who dropped to 0-7. He entered with the Mets down 3-0, but the team rallied to take a 4-3 lead before Senga gave up a two-run homer to Kyle Schwarber in the seventh. Aside from that, Senga was quite good. He got himself into a big jam in the sixth, with Alec Bohm walking to start the inning and Brandon Marsh following with a double. However, he escaped without a run scoring. After Schwarber’s homer in the seventh, Senga retired eight of nine batters to conclude his outing. It might be enough to get him a start next weekend in Atlanta, but we’ll have to wait and see.
