The Mets have lost "15 out of 13," New York media: wasted a great performance by Kodai Senga.

Kodai Senga, the Japanese starting pitcher for the New York Mets, delivered an impressive outing today, going 5.2 innings and allowing only 2 runs. However, bullpen pitcher Ryan Helsley messed up in the eighth inning, leading the team to their 13th loss in nearly 15 games. Following the game, New York media described it as "Helsley, the Mets, another disastrous defeat, wasting a great performance by Kodai Senga."

Senga started today against the Atlanta Braves, pitching 5.2 innings, giving up 5 hits, allowing 2 runs, and striking out 7 batters. This was his first time pitching into the sixth inning since returning from injury this season. After he left the game, the Mets' lineup scored 2 runs in the bottom of the sixth, thanks to a sacrifice fly from Brandon Nimmo and a single from Pete Alonso, briefly taking a 3-2 lead.

However, in the top of the eighth inning, the Mets brought in bullpen pitcher Helsley, acquired before the trade deadline. After one out, he issued a walk and then allowed back-to-back doubles from Michael Harris II and Ozzie Albies, causing the team to fall behind again. Ultimately, the Mets lost the game 3-4.

After losing this game, the Mets have suffered 13 losses in their last 15 games and are in a slump. This was the longest outing by a Mets starting pitcher in the past 8 days. Earlier, the New York Post even titled their article "Helsley, the Mets, another disastrous defeat, wasting a great performance by Kodai Senga" to describe the game.

Regarding the team’s struggles, core player Francisco Lindor emphasized the importance of unity in a post-game interview. He stated, "Many players are performing well, but there are also a few who are not. Unity is the most crucial thing; it's really tough, and we need to stick together in any situation, fighting for and supporting each other. This is a test, a significant adversity, and everyone here has a strong desire to win."
