To quote one of Gary Cohen’s most famous calls that was a topic of discussion in tonight’s broadcast: “The impossible has happened!” This time, instead of Bartolo Colón going deep, “the impossible” refers to a Mets pitcher throwing a quality start. Pitching on eight days rest, Kodai Senga did just that, getting the win in the Mets’ 1-0 victory over the Rockies in the opening game of this three-game weekend series at Citi Field.
Senga pitched six scoreless innings in tonight’s victory, yielding just two hits and striking out four batters along the way. The only issue for Senga, who was pumping high octane fastballs all night to compliment his ghost fork, was walks.
