Mets starter Noah Syndergaard took the loss Saturday, giving up five runs on seven hits over six innings while striking out eight.
Two of those hits left the yard, and Syndergaard's 1.13 HR/9 rate is just about the only blemish on what's otherwise been a strong rookie campaign. His next start should come Friday in Cincinnati, although the Mets do keep juggling their rotation in an effort to limit the workloads of all their young arms.
