Kodai Senga struggles in relief for Mets against Phillies

Kodai Senga had another challenging relief appearance for the Mets on July 19, allowing two runs in 1.2 innings against the Phillies. After entering the game following Sean Manaea, Senga faced trouble right away, issuing multiple walks and allowing a two-run single to Bryce Harper. Despite some positive signs, including fastball velocity reaching 99 mph, Senga's effectiveness remains in question as he has given up multiple runs in nearly all his outings this season, now carrying an ERA of 8.85. He exited the game after a rain delay, continuing to struggle in his new bullpen role.
