Syndergaard had his second straight dominant start, allowing just one run on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in seven innings to notch the win Saturday against Philadelphia.
With the strong effort, Thor improved to 12-7 on the year while lowering his ERA to 2.55, third best in the majors. He has been aided by improved command, especially his sinker to both sides of the plate. Syndergaard loves facing the Phillies, as he is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in four starts against them. He will next face the Nationals in a key series for the Mets.
