In a close game on April 1, 2025, the New York Mets lost to the Miami Marlins 4-2, despite a strong pitching performance from Kodai Senga in his second start of the season. Senga showed resilience, allowing only three hits while striking out eight in five innings. However, errors by shortstop Francisco Lindor and insufficient offensive production overshadowed his effort. Lindor committed two costly errors, and the Mets' offense struggled, highlighting emerging challenges early in the 2025 season.
I felt like we played a clean game, except two pitches on my two ground balls, Lindor said. I take a lot of pride in it, it doesn't feel good.
I think I lacked a little bit of calmness and just kind of gave them easy pitches to hit, Senga said.
Other than the first two batters of the game, he was really good, manager Carlos Mendoza said of Senga.
Both of the earned runs on Senga's ledger came on the first two batters that he faced, allowing a lead-off double to Xavier Edwards and a two-run home run to Kyle Stowers.
