Kodai Senga's slump leads Mets to 9-6 loss against Cubs

At Citi Field, the Mets tried to seize early momentum but rookie pitcher Kodai Senga's lack of control handed the Cubs numerous scoring chances. The visitors fell behind 4-0 in the first inning and added three more runs in the second, leaving them down 7-0.

Juan Soto left the game in the second inning with a back complaint, further weakening the lineup. Ultimately, New York fell 9-6 to Chicago.
