NEW YORK — Ghosts were everywhere at Citi Field on Saturday.
Above the outfield fence. On the giant scoreboard. Stitched into Kodai Senga's glove.
And the Miami Marlins looked a little mystified at the plate once again.
Senga won his fantastic home debut and the New York Mets got long balls from Pete Alonso and slumping Eduardo Escobar in a 5-2 victory over Miami.
With fans hanging ghost signs on a railing in left-center to mark Senga's strikeouts, and ghost-fork animations popping up on the ballpark's new videoboard, the Japanese rookie with the disappearing "ghost forkball" fired six innings of three-hit ball.
