June 4 - The visiting Toronto Blue Jays will be dealing with a "ghost forkball" when they vie for a three-game series sweep of the New York Mets on Sunday afternoon.
Senga, who has yet to face the Blue Jays, will oppose left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on Sunday. Kikuchi has yet to pitch against the Mets in his career. "He's operating close to 100 percent as anybody could be this time of year," Mets manager Buck Showalter said. The Mets were 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine runners on base Saturday. Among the notable scufflers is shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and is in a 0-for-15 funk. He stuck out to end the fifth with a runner at second base and was booed by the crowd.
The Blue Jays have not been much better. They were 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base Saturday. First base was open with struggling Cavan Biggio up next, but Showalter elected to pitch to Guerrero.
