Mets starter Kodai Senga appeared in a game for the first time since injuring his calf in his only start of the season in July. On Saturday, Senga pitched one inning in a rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse. He didn’t allow a run while throwing 15 pitches (eight strikes) and two strikeouts.

Kodai Senga threw one scoreless inning while walking one and striking out two on 15 pitches with Triple-A Syracuse. The righty, who is recovering from a left calf strain, did not throw a second inning perhaps because the Syracuse offense scored eight runs in a lengthy bottom of the first.

Sean Manaea won his fourth straight decision, Brandon Nimmo hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run seventh inning and the New York Mets beat Philadelphia 6-3 to prevent the Phillies from clinching the NL East title.
