In an impressive display, Kodai Senga threw his third consecutive start without allowing a run, leading the New York Mets to a 3-0 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Senga pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing just three hits and recording four strikeouts, improving his record to 3-1 while lowering his ERA to a staggering 0.79. His scoreless streak now stands at 18 2/3 innings.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Senga's ability to perform against tough opponents, stating that the team feels confident whenever he takes the mound. Senga's recovery from shoulder issues that limited his 2024 season is a hopeful sign for the Mets, particularly after he signed a five-year, $75 million contract in 2023 and was an All-Star that year. Yet, he faced challenges, including a sixth-inning threat from the Cardinals that was thwarted by the Mets' strong defense.
