New York's sports headlines on Saturday may have focused on the Knicks and their playoff-opening win over the Pistons. But the Mets and pitcher Kodai Senga certainly deserved some attention for their performance.
Senga, 31, threw his third consecutive start without allowing a run in the Mets' 3-0 win over the Cardinals at Citi Field. He allowed three hits over 5 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and two walks, boosting his record to 3-1 and lowering his ERA to 0.79 for the season.
With Saturday's outing, Senga extended his scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings.
