\"Kodai<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2014<\/b> Mets starter Kodai Senga made one mistake.<\/p>\n

After the lead-off batter struck out, he hung a seventh pitch forkball too high in the middle of the strike zone. Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar didn\u2019t miss it, putting Colorado up 1-0 on a solo home run.<\/p>\n

From that point on, Senga was unhittable \u2014 at least for a little while. After the home run, the right-hander retired 17 straight batters before allowing a baserunner via walk in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

After retiring his 18th batter without a hit, he allowed an RBI single to second baseman Thairo Estrada, a former Yankee, his last batter of the evening.<\/p>\n

In the Mets\u2019 8-2 win over the Rockies, Senga allowed two runs on two hits and two walks, collecting seven strikeouts in 6 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

As Senga walked off the mound, having been replaced by reliever Jos\u00e9 Butt\u00f3, he received a warm ovation from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Combined, Butt\u00f3 and Chris Devenski didn\u2019t allow a run in the final 2 2\/3 innings of the game.<\/p>\n

The Mets answered back after falling 1-0 on a first-inning home run by the Rockies. The first three batters got on, setting up third baseman Brett Baty, who lined a triple off the wall in right-center to put New York ahead.<\/p>\n

Including Saturday, when Baty went 18-for-61, the young infielder is batting .<\/b>295 with a .929 OPS, including seven extra-base hits and 16 RBIs since being recalled from Triple-A on May 5.<\/p>\n

Center fielder Tyrone Taylor followed with a two-out single, scoring Baty from third, extending the Mets\u2019 lead to 4-1.<\/p>\n

In the fourth inning, outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto went back-to-back to put the Mets ahead 7-1. Nimmo\u2019s two-out, two-run blast traveled 417 feet to center, landing in the Rookies\u2019 bullpen.<\/p>\n

Since returning from a neck injury that sidelined him for three days, Nimmo has been on fire. In five games, he\u2019s 8-for-19 (.421 batting average) with two extra-base hits.<\/p>\n

Soto\u2019s home run, a solo blast 404 feet to center, was his ninth of the season. It was his first home run since May 9, more than three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

In the eighth inning, second baseman Jeff McNeil hit a solo home run into the Mets\u2019 bullpen to give New York a comfortable 8-2 lead.<\/p>\n
