Mets vs. Dodgers Game 48 Recap

The New York Mets lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight 9-1 to drop their record to 28-20. They are still tied for first place in the National League East since the Washington Nationals also lost. Mets starter RHP Noah Syndergarrd only pitched 2 1/3 innings and gave up 2 hits and had 3 strikeouts. Syndergarrd was ejected for throwing behind Dodgers 2B Chase Utley. Mets manager Terry Collins was also ejected. There is still a lot of bad blood between the Mets and Utley after he broke former Met SS Ruben Tejada's leg in Game 2 of the NLDS last year. It will be interesting to see what repercussions happen to Syndergarrd. Hopefully he doesn't get suspended. That would be very unfair since he didn't hit Utley. All he did was throw behind him. After Syndergarrd was ejected, RHP Logan Verrett came in and gave up 2 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 3 in 3 2/3 innings. LHP Antonio Bastardo gave up 3 runs after relieving Verrett. RHP Hansel Robles also gave up 3 runs after Bastardo was taken out. The only run that the Mets scored was on a home run by CF Juan Lagares.
