Kodai Senga survived a rocky first inning to toss six solid frames and earn the win on Sunday night for the host New York Mets, who salvaged the finale of a four-game series by edging the Atlanta Braves 7-6.
Senga gave up three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven. He retired 13 straight Braves following Marcell Ozuna's three-run double in the first while also retiring 17 of the final 19 batters he faced.
Sean Murphy homered in the seventh and Matt Olson added a two-run shot in the eighth for the Braves before Adam Ottavino recorded his seventh save with a 1-2-3 ninth. The Braves raced out to a quick lead against Senga. Ronald Acuna Jr. led off with a single and stole second before Ozzie Albies drew a walk. Acuna went to third when Albies was forced on Austin Riley's grounder and Olson walked to load the bases before the three baserunners scored on Ozuna's double.
Ortega opened the fifth with a single, went to third on Brandon Nimmo's single and scored when Nimmo was forced on Lindor's grounder. McNeil singled again and Lindor was forced on Pete Alonso's grounder to third before Chirinos walked Daniel Vogelbach to load the bases and issued a run-scoring free pass to Narvaez.
