Kodai Senga Dominates in First Triple-A Start Following Mets Demotion

New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga delivered a dominant performance in his first Triple-A start for Syracuse on Friday night, September 13, 2025, following his demotion from the major league club. The right-hander pitched six efficient innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits with no walks and striking out eight batters. Senga utilized his full arsenal, throwing 74 pitches, 52 for strikes. While he gave up a run in the second inning, he quickly rebounded, cruising through the rest of his outing. This impressive outing marks a strong first step for Senga, who had struggled in recent big-league appearances, allowing three or more earned runs in six of his last eight outings and raising his season ERA to 3.02. He is anticipated to make at least two more minor league starts before potentially rejoining the Mets.
