After a disappointing performance against the Chicago Cubs, where Kodai Senga lasted just 3.1 innings and gave up six earned runs, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza hesitated to confirm Senga’s next start. Despite a strong beginning to the season, Senga has struggled recently, failing to execute pitches effectively. Mendoza emphasized the need for Senga to trust his pitches in the strike zone, while Senga acknowledged issues with getting ahead in counts. The Mets face a decision on Senga’s rotation spot ahead of an upcoming game against the Minnesota Twins.
