Collects seventh save Senga earned the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over Miami, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two batters in the ninth inning.

Impact Senga was brought out for the ninth inning to protect the Mets' three-run lead. He gave up a run on back-to-back doubles, but he rebounded by striking out each of the last two batters to secure the win for the Mets. Senga has converted on each of his last seven save chances, and he appears to be the Mets' preferred closer for as long as Devin Williams (shoulder) is on the IL.

Up to six saves Senga earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Giants, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Senga is now 6-for-6 in save chances since taking over the closing role in the absence of Devin Williams (shoulder). He's allowed just two earned runs in his last 12.1 innings, allowing six hits while striking out 13 in that span. Senga's managed to revitalize his season since moving to the bullpen, though he'll likely move into a setup role with Williams expected back later this month.

Collects fifth save Senga struck out one and walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Rays to secure his fifth save of the season.

Impact Senga entered with a one-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to Jonny DeLuca to preserve the victory. The right-hander has been sharp throughout August, collecting all five of his saves while allowing just two runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:5 K:BB. Senga should continue to serve as the Mets' primary ninth-inning option until Devin Williams (shoulder) returns.

Collects fourth save Senga recorded his fourth save of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Padres, giving up one run on two hits and a walk in one inning. He failed to strike out a batter.

Impact The right-hander put three straight baserunners on board with one out in the ninth to make things interesting, but Senga was able to get pinch-hitter Austin Hays to ground into a double play to escape the jam. Devin Williams (shoulder) isn't expected back until sometime in September, so Senga should continue holding down the fort as the Mets' closer for another couple weeks or so. Wednesday's run was the first he'd allowed over six appearances in August, and Senga has yet to blow a save chance.

Locks down third save Senga secured the save against the Nationals on Sunday, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.

Impact Senga continues to experience a seamless transition into New York's closer role while Devin Williams (shoulder) is on the injured list. The right-hander has now successfully converted each of his first three save chances, and he's also submitted five consecutive scoreless outings as a reliever. Given Senga's 9.66 ERA and 1.80 WHIP over 31.2 innings as a starter, it's hard to envision the Mets moving the hurler back into the rotation again this year even after Williams returns.

Records second save of season Senga allowed one hit while striking out one over a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Senga recorded two quick outs but made things interesting -- after allowing a single to Jacob Young and plunking CJ Abrams, the Nats had two runners on with two outs. However, Senga fanned Abimelec Ortiz to preserve the victory and earn his second save of the season. The right-hander has now recorded both of the Mets' saves since Devin Williams landed on the injured list Monday with a right shoulder strain, suggesting he could continue seeing ninth-inning opportunities in the short term. That's a notable development after Senga went 0-8 with an 8.66 ERA over his first 13 appearances (eight starts) this season before losing his rotation spot. He has yet to allow a run and owns a 0.67 WHIP in three relief outings.

Earns first career save Senga earned the save in in Monday's 8-5 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Senga was summoned for his first major-league save opportunity and worked around a two-out walk to secure a three-run victory for the Mets. With Devin Williams (shoulder) hitting the injured list, the 33-year-old Senga appears to be part of a potential closer committee for as long as he's out. He's had few bright moments this season, posting a bloated 8.12 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 57:34 K across 47.2 innings as both a starter and reliever.
