Senga goes 6 innings, Nimmo homers as Mets top Rockies

NEW YORK — Kodai Senga pitched six innings of two-hit ball after a long layoff and the New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Friday night to avoid falling under .500 for the second time this year.

Brandon Nimmo homered and made a diving catch in center field after committing a costly baserunning blunder Thursday in Detroit.

Drew Smith worked the seventh and David Robertson caught a break to strand two in the eighth when Ryan McMahon's line-drive single hit pinch-runner Brenton Doyle on the leg between first and second for the final out of the inning.
