Kodai Senga and two relievers combined on a two-hit shutout, leading the Mets to a 2-0 win over the Phillies Tuesday night at Citi Field. Senga pitched his best game of the year, throwing seven shutout innings. The key was that he threw strikes. He did not walk a batter and struck out nine. This [...]
The expectation of many was that with MLB requiring two fielders on either side of the second-base bag and banning infielders from playing on the outfield grass that the end result would be more hits. And that has indeed turned out to be true, even if not to the degree that many believed. Last year, [...]
