NEW YORK -- Kodai Senga will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced. Sean Manaea will start Game 2 on Monday.
It's the spot -- Game 1 starter -- the Mets envisioned for Senga when they reported for spring training with the right-hander as their ace. Getting there, however, went sideways.
Senga didn't make his season debut until July 26 after beginning the season on the injured list with a strained posterior capsule in his right shoulder.
