Mauricio delivered a rocket double in his first major league at-bat.
One of the few positives from this Mets season has been the emergence of Kodai Senga in his first season in the majors. On Friday, they didn’t, as Daniel Vogelbach drove in Francisco Lindor with a go-ahead single with two outs in the bottom of the eighth in a 2-1 win over Seattle at Citi Field. It came against a first-place Mariners team that entered having won 13 of 15, part of a long second-half surge that’s gotten them to the top of the tough AL West.
“I’m proud of the guys, that they haven’t given into that lure,’’ Showalter said. “They’re not going through the motions. They’ve got too much pride for that. We and they are not going to allow it.” Showalter noted Senga was effective despite not having the normal “crispness” of his ghost fork and smartly emptied the tank after allowing a leadoff double to Teoscar Hernandez in the seventh. Senga allowed just one baserunner through the first three innings before J.P. Crawford led off the fourth with a home run to center to put the Mets in a 1-0 hole.
The Mets got just one runner in scoring position until Brandon Nimmo opened the bottom of the sixth with his 20th homer of the season to tie the game at 1-1. Robert Sabo for the NY Post
