On Tuesday, the Mets fell into an immediate hole when Kodai Senga struggled through the first inning, walking the first two hitters before Sal Stewart launched a three-run homer. Spencer Steer added another homer later in the frame, putting New York down 4–0 before its offense had time to settle in.

The Mets kept chipping away. Bo Bichette’s RBI single in the third and Mark Vientos’ two-run homer in the sixth cut the deficit to 5-3. However, they missed chances with runners on in the fourth and eighth, and Cincinnati’s bullpen kept the late rally from turning into anything bigger. The Mets ended up dropping the game, 5-3.

New York will look to avoid a series sweep today in the finale. Nolan McLean (3-4, 4.01 ERA) will face off against Nick Lodolo (2-1, 5.21 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 12:40 p.m. ET on SNY.

I got some treatment and the treatment effects were a little bit greater than I anticipated. It became a little bit more loose, so that caused the nerve sensations. It’s not like it’s inflamed, I wouldn’t say this is an injury. Going back to what I said earlier, continuing to strive for those mechanics, striving for health and getting back to the field I don’t think is too far.”
