10 punchouts in win Senga (11-7) earned the win Thursday, allowing two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 11-1 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out 10.

Impact Senga was masterful Thursday, surrendering just two hits - a pair of singles - and retiring 13 consecutive Diamondbacks in the interim. The 30-year-old first-year pitcher tallied his fifth double-digit strikeout effort of the campaign and his third in four starts. Senga has limited opponents to three or fewer earned runs in 14-straight outings dating back to June 23, earning nine quality starts with a 2.46 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:31 K:BB across 84 innings during the impressive stretch. He will look to keep the momentum in his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for early next week in Miami.

Walks four in no-decision Senga yielded two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings in Friday's loss to the Twins. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Impact It was a fairly lackluster performance for Senga based on what he's been doing lately. While he turned in his 13th straight start with three or fewer earned runs allowed, he also walked four batters for the first time since June 10. Senga has registered a 2.65 ERA during that 13-game run, bringing his season mark down to 3.07. He's in line for a home matchup against Arizona next week.

Fans 12 in no-decision Senga came away with a no-decision Friday in the Mets' 2-1 win over the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out 12.

Impact The 12 Ks tied his season high, matching his performances from July 5 against Arizona and May 17 against Tampa Bay. Senga has delivered five straight quality starts and missed making it seven straight by one out, and since the All-Star break he's posted a 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 63:19 K:BB through 53.2 innings. New York is keeping a close eye on the 30-year-old's workload in his first MLB campaign, but by all appearances Senga is getting stronger down the stretch. He lines up to make his next start in Minnesota next weekend, potentially in a matchup with countryman Kenta Maeda.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for five more starts Senga is expected to make five more starts this season as the Mets keep an eye on his workload, Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.

Impact New York plays 17 straight days to begin September, so the team will shift to a six-man rotation for the first half of the month -- making it easier to manage Senga's innings in his first North American campaign. He threw 162 innings in his final campaign for Fukuoka in the NPB, and is currently at 136.1 innings in 2023, along with a 3.17 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and strong 28.5 percent strikeout rate against an 11.1 percent walk rate. Senga is expected to make the first of those September starts Friday, at home against the Mariners.

AUGUST 30, 2023

Stuck with loss despite 10 Ks Senga (10-7) took the loss Friday, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over 6.2 innings as the Mets fell 3-1 to the Angels. He struck out 10.

Impact It's the third time this season Senga's fanned double-digit batters as he generated a whopping 21 swinging strikes among his 105 pitches, but he got little help from his offense and saw his three-start win streak snapped. The 30-year-old rookie did extend his quality start streak to four however, and since the All-Star break he's posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 51:17 K:BB through 46.2 innings. He's next set to take the mound at home next week against the Rangers.

Cruises to win No. 10 Senga (10-6) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings against St. Louis. He struck out five.

Impact Senga picked up his third straight win Saturday, dealing seven frames of two-hit baseball. The outing marked his 10th consecutive appearance allowing three or fewer runs, a stretch in which Senga owns a 2.78 ERA, a 67:20 K:BB and 0.5 HR/9 across 58.1 innings. The 30-year-old will look to continue his strong rookie campaign in his next projected start, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Angels next week.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans seven in win Senga (9-6) yielded three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against Atlanta.

Impact Senga coughed up a three-run double to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning but settled in for five scoreless frames after. Senga has allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine consecutive starts, registering a 2.98 ERA during that stretch. He's sporting a 3.30 ERA with a 149:59 K:BB through 122.2 frames this season. Senga's next outing is lined up to be in St. Louis.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures eighth victory Senga (8-6) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact The Mets jumped ahead 3-0 after one frame, and Senga kept Chicago in check to record his first win since July 5. The right-hander didn't allow any extra-base hits and threw 57 of 85 pitches for strikes in a relatively efficient effort. The quality start was Senga's fourth over his past six contests, a span in which he's posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB over 35 innings. With the Mets having traded both Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, Senga has become the team's de facto ace.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes sixth loss Senga (7-6) allowed three runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Royals.

Impact Senga threw 62 of 99 pitches for strikes, but the Royals were able to make consistent contact. Nine of their 11 hits against Senga were singles, but that was enough traffic to stick him with the loss when the Mets' offense couldn't generate a run. The right-hander is now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 136:55 K:BB through 110.2 innings over 20 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Records quality start Thursday Senga pitched six innings in a no-decision against Washington on Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out five batters.

Impact Senga rattled off five scoreless frames before the Nationals broke a scoreless tie with a run in the sixth. That was enough to put the right-hander in line for the loss upon his departure, but the Mets rallied for two late runs to take him off the hook. Senga finished a strong July with a 1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 23.1 innings covering four starts, though he had only one win to show for it.

Strikes out nine in no-decision Senga allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Senga surrendered a solo homer to Mookie Betts in the third inning but otherwise kept the Dodgers off the scoreboard. He didn't get much run support, however, and had to settle for a no-decision despite notching his second straight quality start. Senga has looked great in those two outings, allowing just two runs and posting a 21:3 K:BB over 14 frames. The right-hander has struggled with walks at times this season but has otherwise adjusted to MLB quite well, posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 95.2 innings. He ranks seventh in the National League with 122 punchouts.
