Mets Announce Kodai Senga News After Nationals Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Senga retired 15 of the last 16 Nationals he faced, allowed one walk, struck out five and left with the Mets ahead 4-0. After Jose Castillo and Huascar Brazoban carried the shutout to the ninth — with the help of a run-saving diving catch by centerfielder Tyrone Taylor — things got dicey for the Mets.

Righties don’t bother the Washington Nationals much. They boast low strikeout (19.7%) and walk rates (7.7%) with a .242/.311/.401 slash line. A BABIP of .279 against righties could indicate positive regression on the horizon.
