Kodai Senga gave a safe hit in 5 2/3-roundless inning before leaving with a tenseless hamstring Thursday afternoon while the New York Mets extended their winning sequence of the Washington Nationals at 10 games by holding a 4-3 victory. The injury sends Senga on the injured list and he will suffer an MRI on Friday.
Senga (7-3) granted James Wood two strikers in the competition and another Baserunner. He was injured covering the first base on a group by the CJ Abrams to the first goal Pete Alonso.
With a release in the sixth, Senga ran to cover first. Alonso aligned the ball but made a high throw while Senga covered the bag.
Senga jumped to catch the Alonso throw and immediately fell. He held the back of his right leg and, after a brief consultation with manager Carlos Mendoza and a trainer, Senga left the game.
Senga retired 13 consecutive before publishing his only step in the competition to Jose Tena in the fifth. Senga withdrew five years and lowered its time to a better 1.47 MLB.
Before the Senga injury, the sixth consecutive victory in New York and the 13th in the last 14 home games with the Nationals, Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo dominated.
McNeil struck a three-point circuit in the right row of the seats at the bottom right in the first round off Michael Soroka from Washington (3-4) after walks at Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto.
It was McNeil’s fifth circuit in his last 11 games.
Nimmo dominated for the third time in the three -game series when his journey hit the right -of -right fault center with a withdrawal in the fifth.
The dishes were only threatened at the ninth when Washington struck three single consecutive Ryne Stanek and reduced the advance to 4-1 on a simple by Luis Garcia Jr.
Edwin Diaz replaced Stanek and instructed the basics by walking Nathaniel Lowe, abandoned a simple RBI of Josh Bell and launched a wild land that allowed Nationals to make a match of a race before Diaz attracted his 15th judgment.
Soroka granted four points on three strokes in five rounds. He withdrew five years, walked three and did not win a third consecutive departure.
Wood had three simple for the Nationals, who lost their fifth consecutive and fell to 2-8 in their last 10 games.
