Mets’ Kodai Senga has simple goal with one start left in 2023

Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will likely be this year’s National League Rookie of the Year. But could Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga be making a case to finish within the top five of NL Cy Young voting?

Senga didn’t have his best stuff on Wednesday night in Miami against the Marlins. However, he managed to record a quality start by allowing two runs on seven hits, two walks, and three strikeouts in six innings of work.

This was his 15th straight start of allowing three or fewer runs this season. That puts him in some excellent company within franchise history:
