NEW YORK -- Mets ace Kodai Senga pitched into the fourth inning Saturday night in a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton against Hartford.
Senga allowed four runs, three earned, and six hits while striking out four and walking two in 3u2154 innings. The right-hander threw 44 of 68 pitches for strikes.
One of 13 Mets pitchers on the injured list, Senga could return to New York's ravaged rotation next weekend in Kansas City just before the All-Star break.
Senga strained his right hamstring covering first base on June 12 and the Mets went into a 3-14 tailspin afterward.
