Francisco Lindor tied a career high with seven RBIs thanks to a grand slam and a bases-clearing double, sending the New York Mets to a 17-6 romp over the host Oakland Athletics in the opener of an interleague series on Friday.
However, the right-hander couldn't complete the required five innings. He was pulled two outs into the fifth after having served up a solo home run to Aledmys Diaz, his first of the season, before walking Conner Capel to drive his pitch count to 96. The Mets were up 12-4 at the time. Senga was charged with four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out seven.
The seven RBIs equaled the number Lindor had in his previous career-best effort for Cleveland against the Kansas City Royals on July 2, 2018. The homer was his third of the season.
