Kodai Senga’s Shocking Collapse: What Went Wrong in Mets’ Crushing Defeat to Athletics?
And when velocity isn’t there, location becomes more important and the lack of it played a big part in the game-altering third inning. With the Mets only down 2-1, Shea Langeliers doubled and Tyler Soderstrom homered to give the A’s a 4-1 lead. Consecutive singles and a one-out home run by Carlos Cortes capped off the five-run inning and Senga’s day.
