It just wasn’t the Mets’ night. Kodai Senga couldn’t throw strikes early, the Dodgers scored a bunch, the Mets’ offense was sluggish at best, and the Mets lost the opener of the NLCS.
Senga gave up two runs in a very shaky bottom of the first, but he was sent back out there for the second inning gave up a third run before the Mets went to the bullpen. In total, Senga didn’t strike out anyone, walked four, and gave up three runs while recording just four outs. He looked as bad in this outing as he looked good in appearance against the Phillies in the NLDS.
