Kodai Senga’s biggest adversary Wednesday night wasn’t so much the Royals’ lineup as it was a wet mound.
Rain left the dirt around the pitching rubber just damp enough to affect the Mets right-hander’s footing and cause caking in his spikes.
On Wednesday, Jonathan Arauz started at second base in his season debut, joining center fielder Rafael Ortega and left fielder Danny Mendick in forming the bottom third of the order. The Mets loaded the bases in the ninth with two outs on walks to DJ Stewart and Ortega and Daniel Vogelbach’s pinch-hit single, but Jeff McNeil, the potential tying run, grounded out to end the game.Michael Massey’s two-run double in the first inning gave the Royals a 2-0 lead after Senga had surrendered consecutive singles to Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. to begin the game.
