On June 12th, the Mets were playing the Nationals, and CJ Abrams hit a routine groundball to first base. The Kodai Senga injury and following days were a gut punch the Mets couldn't recover fromAt first, it seemed like Senga's injury was not going to hurt the Mets. But then the sixth inning came, and the "evils from Pandora's Box" were unleashed on the Mets. In one inning, the Mets went from being up 5-1 to trailing 7-5. While other factors contributed to the Mets' poor performance, the Senga injury was the straw that broke the camel's back.
