The Mets’ bats were quiet early but the team...
On a night where everything seemed to go wrong for the New York Mets, right-handed starter Kodai Senga was still able to deliver a strong individual performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He threw six innings against a potent lineup, allowing just one run to score on four hits while striking out nine. Unfortunately for Senga, the offense was unable to provide him with any kind of run...

The way you hear critics of the Robinson Cano trade talk about the second baseman’s age, you’d think he was Bartolo Colon. Well, Mets fans are lucky that Cano is not Colon.
