RHP Noah Syndergarrd didn't have his best stuff and struggled throughout the night. He gave up base-runners in every inning and had to deal with a lot of traffic on the bases. He had five scoreless innings, but gave up two runs in the top of the sixth on a solo homer by LF Rhys Hoskins and an infield hit to 2B Cesar Hernandez and was then taken out. His final line was four runs on 12 hits and five walks and four strikeouts. He picked up his eleventh win. LHP Jerry Blevins came in next and stuck out pinch-hitter Jose Bautista with the based loaded to end the inning. Blevins stayed in for the top of the eighth and recorded two outs and was taken out for RHP Robert Gsellman. Gsellman retired catcher Wilson Ramos for the last out in the eighth inning and gave up a run in the top of the ninth on an sacrifice fly by 2B Cesar Hernandez, but was able to close it out.

The Mets next game is at 1:10 P.M. tomorrow afternoon against the Phillies.
