Mets' Kodai Senga 'made huge pitches' in win over Dodgers to culminate great pitching weekend

Two pitches in to Sunday's rubber match between the Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani took Kodai Senga deep for a solo shot that gave the Dodgers an immediate 1-0 lead.

Los Angeles would quickly put runners on second and third with nobody out in what looked like could be Senga's first real bad outing of the season.

Instead, with some help from Tyrone Taylor's fantastic throw from center field, Senga escaped the inning without allowing another run. The leadoff home run ended up being the only run Senga allowed over 5.
