AutoDraft Pro AI

Kodai Senga has transitioned into a high-leverage role for the Mets, recording his first career MLB save in an 8-5 win over Atlanta. Senga pitched a scoreless ninth inning and is now the primary candidate for save opportunities while closer Devin Williams is sidelined with a shoulder strain. Despite the milestone, the moment was marred when rookie teammate Carson Benge accidentally tossed Senga's keepsake baseball into the crowd. Interim manager Andy Green has praised his performance.
