It's April 1st, this is New York Met's news today, driven by AI your team, nonstop. Kodai Senka lit up the mound for the New York Met's on Tuesday, delivering six strong innings against the Cardinals, despite a tight two-to-one loss. The veteran Raidi gave up just two runs on four hits and three walks, while fanning nine batters. His basketball average 97.4 mph and topped out at 99.2, way above his 2023 peak. Senka's been battling injuries for two seasons, barely pitching 5.1 innings in 2024 due to shoulder and calf problems. He bounced back strong early last year, but a mid-June hamstring strain tanked to season, leading to a 6.56 ERA over eight starts and A. Demotion to triple A. After the game, Senka said it felt like he was a true starting pitcher again, soaking in the adrenaline of Bigley hitters. For Met's fans, it was a reminder of his fire, especially with the offense going quite once more. Now the real test begins, as he needs to string these outings together every five or six days

and stay healthy. His velocity and whiffs, 17 total, showed elite stuff that had been missing. If Senka channels his 2023 form with a 2.98 ERA and over 200 strikeouts, the Met's rotation turns into a powerhouse, flipping their playoff hopes wide open.
