Kodai Senga<\/a> took the mound for the Mets in his second start of the season and delivered a solid performance, pitching 5 2\/3 innings. He allowed five hits, two runs, one walk, and recorded seven strikeouts.<\/p>\n His only setback came in the sixth inning when he surrendered two two-out RBI hits to Matt Chapman<\/a> and Rafael Devers<\/a>, which resulted in the Mets trailing at the end of his outing. During Senga\u2019s outing, Jared Young<\/a> made a superb defensive play by throwing out Jerar Encarnacion<\/a> at second base in the fifth inning, delivering a strong throw after fielding the ball off the wall following Encarnacion\u2019s single.<\/p>\n Relievers Huascar Brazob\u00e1n<\/a>, Luke Weaver<\/a>, and Devin Williams<\/a> effectively held the Giants\u2019 offense scoreless for the remainder of the game. Luis Torrens<\/a> contributed by throwing out Matt Chapman at second base in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n A noteworthy moment during Brazoban\u2019s inning occurred when Giants designated hitter Jerar Encarnacion hit a slow ground ball back to the pitcher, which was mishandled by Mark Vientos<\/a> at first base. Encarnacion was immediately called out for interference, as it was ruled that he obstructed the fielder\u2019s ability to make the play. Giants manager Tony Vitello argued the call and was subsequently ejected from the game.<\/p>\n Throughout the afternoon, the Mets\u2019 offense struggled to generate runs, with Mark Vientos being the exception. He gave the Mets their first run with an RBI single in the top of the second inning. However, the eighth inning saw the Mets turn the game around with a major offensive surge. The rally began when Jorge Polanco<\/a> doubled and was replaced by pinch-runner Tyrone Taylor<\/a>, who advanced to third on a single by Luis Robert Jr.<\/a>, who then stole second base.<\/p>\n After a pitching change by San Francisco, Luis Torrens delivered a clutch pinch-hit double that scored both Taylor and Robert Jr., giving the Mets the lead. Mark Vientos added to the score with an RBI single, benefiting from a throwing error by Matt Chapman. Marcus Semien<\/a> concluded the rally with a run-scoring double, allowing New York to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 advantage.<\/p>\n Overall, the Mets went 5-for-14 with runners in scoring position, left nine runners stranded on base, and finished the game with 13 hits.<\/p>\n Jared Young (29) Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Player Of The Game: Jared Young<\/p>\n Coming in for the sidelined Baty, Jared Young had himself a strong afternoon, going 3-for-3 with a double as well as an outfield assist, throwing out Jerar Encarnacion out at second base in the fifth inning. During this early part of the season, Jared Young is showing why he can be considered a valuable depth piece for this club.<\/p>\n On Deck<\/p>\n The Mets are off on Monday, as they travel back to New York, but will pick it right back up on Tuesday as they welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks to Citi Field. Freddy Peralta<\/a> (1-0, 4.35 ERA) will make his second Citi Field start as a Met, while he faces Zac Gallen<\/a> (1-1, 3.60 ERA) for Arizona. First pitch takes place at 7:10 pm ET and will be broadcast on SNY and Mets Radio 880 AM.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7349-scaled.jpeg\")
