Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported that while it is not expected that the Angels will trade Ohtani, they will consider it over the next two-to-three weeks.

The 30-year-old Japanese phenom tossed his latest gem on Tuesday, stifling the Philadelphia Phillies lineup through seven shutout innings to earn his fifth win of the season.</p><p>After the game, Senga talked about <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/kodai-senga-pitches-7-scoreless-innings-mets-two-hit-phillies" rel="noopener">pitching in front of his home crowd.</a></p><p>“At home, we have a lot of great fans here,” Senga said through interpreter Hiro Fujiwara. “I don’t want to disappoint them.

In five starts on the road, Senga has a 6.12 ERA.</p><p>Overall, Senga has a 3.55 ERA with 70 strikeouts through his first 10 starts in the MLB. The Mets are 7-3 in those games.</p><p>As the calendar flips to June, teams will start to separate themselves as contenders or pretenders. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-kodai-senga-joins-exclusive-all-japan-mlb-club-that-doesnt-even-include-shohei-ohtani" rel="noopener">How Kodai Senga pitches</a> throughout this month may help dictate which category the Mets fall under.</p><p>Senga seems to be too talented to not figure things out on the road. The Mets obviously love what they are seeing from the rookie at home, but things need to change on the road if he wants to be relied upon in all situations. Senga’s next start to slated to be in Atlanta against the Braves in another crucial division matchup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Senga was on point from start to finish of his duty on the mound, and in the process joined an exclusive statistical club in the big leagues of Japanese-born pitchers with at least <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1663725113051607044" rel="noopener">70 punchouts</a> in their first 10 starts, per ESPN Stats &amp; Info.</p><p><i>Kodai Senga was dealing against the Phillies, recording 9 strikeouts while giving up just 1 hit in 7 IP.

The seven innings he logged in on the hill versus Philadelphia are also the most he’s had in a game in his first year in the big leagues.</p><p>So far in the 2023 MLB regular season, the 30-year-old Senga has a 5-3 record to go with a 3.44 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 10 starts.</p><p>The Mets are certainly hoping that Kodai Senga will be able to sustain that form and become a norm for him going forward.

Brandon Nimmo gave the fans just that Tuesday night versus the Philadelphia Phillies, while also giving teammate and pitcher Kodai Senga a bout of arrhythmia.</p><p>Nick Castellanos launched a ball deep to left center field that looked to be on its way out until the stalwart Nimmo made the save. Senga’s face <a href="https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1663698327681273856" rel="noopener">told the story perfectly</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">BRANDON NIMMO ROBS A HR 😱</p><p>Kodai Senga couldn't believe it</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/SNYtv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SNYtv</a>)<a href="https://t.co/QiFAkcvJrD">pic.twitter.com/QiFAkcvJrD</a></p><p>— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href="https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1663698327681273856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 31, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Nimmo’s home run robbery is just the latest winning play the 30-year-old center fielder has made for the Mets this season. He has been one of the few players fans can depend on to produce on a regular basis. He is hitting .301 with four home runs and 21 RBIs to go along with solid defense. There were those who probably did a spit take when learning of Nimmo’s eight-year, $162 million contract signing with New York this past offseason, but he has been the glue holding this .500 club together.</p><p>Of course, he is just one man and will need help in order for the Mets to meet their<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-sets-insane-299-8-million-mlb-record-previously-set-dodgers" rel="noopener"> hefty expectations</a>. A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-kodai-senga-looking-to-keep-up-with-legends-justin-verlander-max-scherzer" rel="noopener">sharp Kodai Senga</a> is a good place to start. The Japanese right-hander recovered nicely after his guy bailed him out and threw seven shutout innings versus Philadelphia, allowing just one hit and striking out nine. The team is desperate for that type of dominating pitching performance, ranking 25th in baseball with a 4.78 ERA heading into the day.</p><p>If players live up to their contracts and expectations like Nimmo and Senga did Tuesday night, the Mets will quickly right this shaky vessel and steer firmly into divisional contention.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the Mets coming away with the victory, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-kodai-senga-immediately-endears-himself-to-ny-fans-with-memorable-introduction" rel="noopener">Senga had plenty</a> of reasons to smile.</p><p>Senga got a win in his first start, as the Mets took down the Miami Marlins 5-1. Following the win, Senga had a <a href="https://twitter.com/SNYtv/status/1642630980216274945" rel="noopener">hilarious reaction</a> to New York’s post game celebration, via SNY.</p><p>“A very hot ceremonial indeed,” Senga said.</p><p>Even Senga’s translator got a chuckle out of the response. Senga laughed along when the reports joined his translator. While his response is quite confusing in nature, it was Senga’s way of expressing the excitement after his first MLB. Whether it’s ‘hot ceremonial’ or not, it seems like Senga and his Mets teammates are getting along nicely.</p><p>While his interview might’ve drawn a few laughs, Senga’s start against the Marlins was no laughing matter. The right-hander threw 5.1 innings in the win, allowing just three hits and one earned run. He struck out eight in the victory.</p><p>When the Mets signed Kodai Senga to a five-year, $75 million contract, he was already guaranteed a major role in New York’s rotation. However, with Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana going down with injuries, Senga will now have to step even furthermore. He is a key figure in the Mets’ pitching rotation.</p><p>So far so good for Senga. He’ll look to continue mowing down hitters the next time he toes the rubber. Senga will be waiting to see how the Mets celebrate his next win.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
