Kodai Senga barely survived the first inning of his major league debut Sunday and then mysteriously – with the help of a ghost or several – transformed into untouchable.
The Marlins were left flailing at the Japanese right-hander’s ghost forkball, striking out seven times on that pitch alone.
Senga lasted 5 1/3 innings and allowed one earned run on three hits with eight strikeouts and three walks before the Mets bullpen went into lockdown mode, continuing a dominant stretch for that unit.Jorge Soler hammered an RBI double after Luis Arraez opened the game with a single, and Senga walked Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Avisail Garcia later in the inning.USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con
He threw his ghost forkball 26 times and received 14 swings on the pitch, nine of which were swings and misses.His four-seam fastball topped out at 99 mph and averaged 96.8 mph.Matt Harvey holds the record with 11 and Collin McHugh is second with nine.
