SYNDERGAARD HOMERS IN SHUTOUT

May 28,2015

   NOAH SYNDERGAARD helped himself out in the NY Mets 7-0 win over the Phillies at CitiField. Besides throwing 7 1/3  scoreless innings on Wednesday with six strikeouts, Syndergaard also lit it up from the other side, batting 3 for 3 with a mammoth homerun.

    Only this type of performance could overshadow the day LUCAS DUDA had going 3 for 4 with a double and two long balls.

    Syndergaard received his second consecutive standing ovation as he left the CitiField mound in the eighth. The Mets completed the three game sweep of the Phillies and are off on Thursday before traveling to Florida to take on the Marlins

METS CALL UP TOP PROSPECT SYNDERGAARD

The New York Mets will call up top pitching prospect, their number 1 prospect and the overall number 11 prospect in the major leagues, on Tuesday. Syndergaard will make a spot start on Tuesday at Wrigley field in Chicago. Dillon Gee was placed on the 15 day disabled list, retroactive to his last start, with a groin injury. Syndergaard is not expected to remain with the team after Gee comes back from the DL.
