Kodai Senga Struggles in Mets' Loss, Fails to Go Deep into Game

Kodai Senga had another challenging outing for the New York Mets against the Nationals, giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters across 5.1 innings. He allowed a solo home run to Josh Bell and left pitches in the middle of the zone that the Nationals capitalized on. Senga has not completed six innings in his last seven starts since returning from the injured list in mid-July, with his second-half ERA rising to 6.00.
