ATLANTA — Two straight decent Kodai Senga outings have left the Mets hopeful the right-hander can be trusted again.

Senga will get another chance Tuesday when he is expected to pitch against the Royals, likely in a bulk relief role.

Senga has pitched respectably in relief since his removal from the starting rotation.

“I realize there’s been a couple of home runs, but he’s been great,” interim manager Andy Green said before the Mets’ 7-6 win in 10 innings over the Braves on Monday.

“The forkball has been really good for him and he’s attacked hitters and we’re encouraged.”

Senga allowed one earned run over 2 ²/₃ innings against the Braves in a relief appearance Friday.

It followed a five-inning relief outing against the Phillies with two earned runs allowed.

Overall, Senga has pitched to an 8.66 ERA this season.

“He’s got an unbelievable pedigree, being one of the better starters in major league baseball,” Green said. “I would love to see him to continue to move back to being great.”

Ronny Mauricio started at shortstop, giving Francisco Lindor a DH night.

Mauricio began the day with a .435 OPS in 16 games and went 1-for-4 Monday.

“He can do a ton of damage when he gets a pitch that he can drive,” Green said. “I would love to see him get into a baseball or two.”

Bo Bichette began the day with a .350/.373/.564 slash line with five homers and 22 RBIs over his previous 29 games, dating to June 3.

The veteran infielder ranked third in the major leagues with 41 hits over that stretch. He kept it going Monday by going 2-for-5.

Overall, he entered Monday with a disappointing .689 OPS.

“He’s been a perennial All-Star type player, and you expect that over the course of a season, those guys tend to find their way,” Green said. “I know he personally would have loved to find it the first week of the season, but baseball is not always like that.”
