However, the momentum was tempered Thursday when ace Kodai Senga exited early in the sixth inning due to a strained right hamstring. Senga, who has an MLB ‑best 1.47 ERA, delivered 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and five strikeouts, before collapsing after covering first base on a routine grounder.

The Mets lost starting pitcher Kodai Senga to an injury that did not look great when it happened on Thursday. The New York Mets are coming off a three-game sweep over the Washington Nationals at Citi Field for their second consecutive series sweep.

Alonso delivered a high-throw to first base on Thursday, causing Senga to jump for the ball. In the play, Senga strained his hamstring and is headed to the injured list. After the game, Alonso addressed the play and said he feels awful.
