Kodai Senga secures seventh save in New York Mets victory over Miami Marlins

Kodai Senga recorded his seventh consecutive save for the New York Mets on Tuesday night. After the Miami Marlins narrowed the lead with back-to-back doubles, pitching coach Justin Willard visited the mound. Senga responded by throwing 10 consecutive forkballs to retire Owen Cassie and Kyle Stowers, sealing the win for the New York Mets. Senga remains perfect in save opportunities since filling the closer role during the absence of Devin Williams. He has maintained a 2.03 ERA over these seven appearances. Manager Andy Green attributed the success to Senga capitalizing on the aggressive approach of the Miami Marlins hitters. Team executive David Stearns noted that while Senga prefers starting, the organization continues to evaluate his long-term role as Devin Williams moves toward a potential return.
