The Mets swept the Nationals at Citi Field, highlighted by Jeff McNeil’s three-run homer, but suffered a setback as Kodai Senga strained his hamstring and is heading to the IL after an injury related to a throw from Pete Alonso. Max Kranick will take Senga’s roster spot, while Brandon Nimmo continues to excel with three homers in his last two games. The Mets are also drawing trade interest for Paul Blackburn and are preparing for their upcoming series against the Rays, with standout performances by Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat noted in the minor leagues.
