Secures eighth save Senga earned the save after striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. He also hit a batter.

Impact Senga was handed a three-run advantage after Nathan Lavender and Dedniel Nunez combined for two perfect innings ahead of him. The right-hander issued no walks and allowed no hits while needing 19 pitches (11 strikes) to finish the job, striking out two of the four batters he faced. The save was Senga's eighth of the season, though his ERA remains elevated at 7.34.

Blows save vs. former team Senga was charged with a blown save after allowing one run on one hit while striking out two over one inning in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

Impact Senga entered the ninth with New York protecting a 3-2 lead and retired the first batter before Pete Alonso crushed a 414-foot solo homer to tie the game. It was Alonso's 300th career home run and his first against the Mets after spending his first seven seasons in New York. Senga recovered to retire the next two hitters, but the damage resulted in his first blown save in eight opportunities this season. He's now given up runs in two of his last three appearances, but with Devin Williams (shoulder) still on the IL, Senga should continue to see ninth-inning opportunities for now.

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.
