Morning Briefing: Mets send Thor to mound after sweeping success

NEW YORK -- Noah Syndergaard indisputably has been the ace of the New York Mets so far this season, going 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA through three starts.

Thor looks to build on that success as the Mets return home to face the Cincinnati Reds at 7:10 p.m. ET on Monday. Syndergaard opposes right-hander Raisel Iglesias.

Syndergaard has 29 strikeouts in 20 innings. That’s the second most K's through three appearances in a season in franchise history, trailing only Pedro Martinez’s 30 in 2005.

Syndergaard is the first major league pitcher since Roger Clemens in 2005 to allow one run or fewer and strike out at least eight batters in each of three starts to begin a season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
