Starling Marte came through with the bases loaded for the second straight inning. He laced a two-out, two-run single through the left side. Marte's hit followed a bases-loaded walk by Juan Soto. Mets 5, Rays 1, after five.

Kodai Senga is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He will be reassessed after two weeks, so relatively good news for the Mets.

Paul Blackburn has not had the results he would have liked as a reliever. Now, with Kodai Senga on the shelf, he will get another chance as a starter for the Mets. northjersey.com/story/sports/m…

Brett Baty came out of today's game with right groin tightness. He's considered day to day. He is not expected to go for imaging at this point.
