Mets’ win streak halted at seven as Syndergaard gets hammered
Noah Syndergaard struggled against the Rays on Saturday night.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Even in the dead humidity of Florida summer, the road seems like a cold and lonely place for Noah Syndergaard.
To be fair, the rookie right-hander has not been a disaster away from Citi Field this season, but he hardly has resembled an NL Rookie of the Year candidate.
On Saturday, Thor’s hammer was stolen by the Rays and used against him, sending the Mets to a 5-4 loss at Tropicana Field that ended their seven-game winning streak.
The Mets (59-51) lost for the first time since acquiring Yoenis Cespedes in a trade with the Tigers on July 31.
