The New York Mets moved past the Braves for the top NL wild card berth, beating Atlanta 8-4 on Friday night behind J.D. Martinez’s grand slam in a seven-run third inning but losing Kodai Senga to another injury in his season debut.
NEW YORK —
Atlanta has lost six straight games — its longest skid since a six-game losing streak from Sept. 25-30, 2017, the final week of Brian Snitker’s first full season as manager.Senga’s injury-delayed season debut was cut short after 5 1/3 innings and 73 pitches when he strained his left calf. After inducing Austin Riley to pop up leading off the sixth, Senga pointed toward Pete Alonso and began sprinting off the mound to clear room for the first baseman.
Runner-up to Arizona’s Corbin Carroll for NL Rookie of the Year last season, Senga was 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 starts after signing a $75 million, five-year contract.
