The New York Mets road a strong performance from rookie pitcher Noah Syndergaard, both on the mound and at the plate, to a 7-0 victory and a series sweep of the Phillies at Citi Field.
Syndergaard (2-2) tossed 7.1 dominating innings, scattering 6 hits while striking out 6 and walking none. Meanwhile, at the plate the Mets’ hurler went 3-3, including a 4th inning homerun, the first of his nascient big league career.
Lucas Duda staked the young hurler to an early lead, crushing a solo homer with 2 outs in the bottom of the 1st inning to make it 1-0. Duda would go deep again later in the game, and was 3-4 overall on the day.
