Kodai Senga’s season debut didn’t end well on Friday night at Citi Field.

Senga, in the sixth inning of the New York Mets’ 8-4 win over the Atlanta Braves, suddenly pulled up in clear pain while chasing an infield popup off the mound. Senga fell down to the field while holding his left calf, grimacing, as Pete Alonso caught the pop up from Austin Riley to make the out.

Eventually, Senga limped off the field and back to the dugout. His night was over.

Kodai Senga exited tonight’s game with a left calf strain.
