In the middle of the Mets’ sweep-security 4-3 victory over the Nationals, the club lost Kodai Senga to a hamstring strain. Manager Carlos Mendoza said the right-hander will land on the injured list, but the severity of the injury and length of his absence is not yet known.
The scary moment occurred in the sixth, when Pete Alonso fielded a grounder hit by CJ Abrams and threw the ball high to first. Senga snagged the errant throw and recorded the out, but landed hard on first base and immediately fell to the ground.
