Kodai Senga roughed up, Mets drop below .500 after 11-6 loss to Athletics

1 innings after allowing seven earned runs on eight hits, including two home runs -- the second of which coming on the last pitch he threw which resulted in a three-run homer that gave the Athletics a 7-1 lead. In that same inning, Senga allowed a leadoff double, a two-run homer, and two singles before the second blast of the inning, all of which resulted in five runs. It was the first time in Senga's career (55 starts) that the right-hander allowed a three-run home run (he has yet to allow a grand slam) and the first time he's allowed seven earned runs or more in a game.

-- Senga's command was also off. Not only did he walk two in his abbreviated outing, including one with the bases loaded to even up the score at 1-1, he was only able to throw a first pitch strike to five of the 17 batters he faced. Of the 72 pitches he threw, 40 were strikes.

Following the disastrous outing, Senga's ERA climbed to 7. 07 in the early season. -- New York got on the board first, scoring a run in the bottom half of the opening inning.

Luis Robert Jr. singled, advanced to second on a groundout and crossed home plate on Bo Bichette 's RBI single off Jacob Lopez to take a 1-0 lead. That lead vanished in the second inning, though, with the A's scoring twice with the second run scoring on a ground ball to second base that could've been an inning-ending double play had Francisco Lindor covered the bag instead of going for the ball.
