The New York Mets won their game against Atlanta 8-5. The win was secured by Kodai Senga, who earned his first career save.

However, the moment was overshadowed by a rookie's error. After the game, Senga handed the ball to teammate Benge, who then gave it away to a fan.

The ball was a souvenir from Senga's first career save. The open question is whether the Mets will address the incident with Benge.
