The Mets completed a homestand that defined their 2023 squad to date — inspiring enough to sweep three from the Phillies, inadequate enough to be swept three by the Blue Jays.
“We are capable of better,” Buck Showalter said.
Kodai Senga, who began the homestand so encouragingly with his best start of the season against the Phillies, closed it with his first start on standard four days’ rest. It did not go well. Showalter acknowledged the short rest left the righty “not as crisp.” And how exactly do the Mets get on a rotation roll — which it looked like might be forming before Sunday — if one member proves incapable of working every five days? After all, the Mets have struggled to find five healthy, capable starters.
With Senga recording just eight outs, the Mets instead had to begin the wheel on a depth-challenged pen. Ultimately, Dominic Leone served up a tie-breaking, two-run homer to Brandon Belt in the seventh inning.Corey Sipkin for the NY POST
