Trout chasing 400: belted the 399th home run of his illustrious career last night, placing him just one round-tripper shy of becoming the 59th plate in MLB history to reach the 400 milestone. Trout, currently in a three-way tie with Andres Galarraga and Al Kaline on the all-time leaderboard, is hitting .235/.368/.426 (119 wRC+) and has already secured the tenth 20-homer season of his career (plus 17 homers during the shortened 2020 season).

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza remains uncertain if Kodai Senga will get the ball for the next turn in his rotation, which is supposed to come on Sunday in Cincinnati against the Reds. Everything's on the table, Mendoza said prior to his team's series finale in Detroit against the Tigers. Whether he makes his next start, there's a lot going on right now. We just have to wait and see after we get through today.

I still feel awful because, for me, I'm just trying to make a baseball play. I tried to make the best throw I could and it just sucks.

Senga wasn't perfect in his outing but showed resilience by going six shutout innings, helping the Mets secure a victory against the Diamondbacks and reducing bullpen workload.
