The Mets have a night off, but three of their minor league affiliates are in action this evening. Kodai Senga will make his second rehab start, this time for Triple-A Syracuse. R.J. Gordon will try to build on an encouraging outing for Binghamton, while Jose Chirinos hopes to continue his strong start to the season for St. Lucie. Earlier today, Brooklyn dropped its game with Wilmington, 7-5, despite Corey Collins reaching base four times and a pair of hits from Ronald Hernandez.
