With Win Over Marlins, Mets Tie Franchise Record for Best Start
Noah Syndergaard allowed two runs, only one earned, over six innings, and had five strikeouts.MIAMI — The Mets just continue to roll. With a solid start from Noah Syndergaard, opportunistic hitting and a sturdy bullpen, the Mets defeated the host Miami Marlins on Monday, 4-2, for their sixth straight victory, improving to 8-1 on the season.
Twice before, the Mets have started 8-1: in 1985, when they did not reach the playoffs, and in 2006, when they reached the National League Championship Series. With one more victory, the 2018 Mets would have the best start in franchise history.
