NEW YORK — Kodai Senga's injury-delayed season debut for the New York Mets was cut short after 5 1/3 innings and 73 pitches when he strained his left calf while pitching in an 8-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. After inducing Austin Riley to pop up leading off the sixth, Senga pointed toward Pete Alonso and began sprinting off the mound to clear room for the first baseman. The 31-year-old right-hander grabbed his left calf and bounced for a couple steps before falling. Senga, who missed the first 102 games with a right shoulder capsule strain, allowed two hits, including Adam Duvall's two-run homer.
