Mets starter Noah Syndergaard finally earned his first-career road win, as the Mets topped the Phillies 6-5 on Tuesday. Syndergaard battled in this one, as he allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out nine, needing 96 pitches--60 strikes--to get through the fifth.
Syndergaard (8-6, 3.19 ERA) was given a 3-0 lead after the second inning. But he coughed up the lead in a four-run, which included two-run home runs by Freddy Galvis and Ryan Howard.
But the Mets were able to rally back and recapture the lead, paving the way to Syndergaard's win. Syndergaard helped himself in this one as well, as he drove in a run with his first-career double in the second inning.
After Tuesday's outing, Syndergaard is now 1-5 with a 4.91 ERA in 10 starts away from CitiField.
