With Jesse Winker back on the injured list and Starling Marte out until after the All-Star break, the Mets need someone to step up big and provide a boost in the designated hitter role. Enter Mark Vientos.

The Mets' opportunity to sweep the Royals in the last game before the All-Star break on Sunday has been pushed back due to rain.

Senga was again helped out by Mauricio, as he finished his night with a much-needed clean fourth inning. He threw 67 pitches in his first start back and allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out four over four scoreless innings -- he lowered his ERA to 1.39 on the year.
