Kodai Senga survived a rocky first inning to toss six solid frames and earn the win Sunday night for the host New York Mets, who salvaged the finale of a four-game series by edging the Atlanta Braves 7-6.
The Mets improved to 3-10 this month. The Braves finished 6-5 on an 11-game road trip.
Senga (9-6) gave up three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings. He retired 13 straight following Marcell Ozuna's three-run double and 17 of the final 19 batters he faced.
