Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard will start Game 2 of the NLCS against the Cubs on Sunday, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.
Syndergaard took the mound twice in the divisional series versus the Dodgers, conceding three runs on five hits and five walks, while striking out 11 in 7.1 innings. In his sole matchup with the Cubs this season on May 12, he didn't fare much better (three earned runs in 5.1 innings) but took advantage of the Cubs' free-swinging ways, striking out six.
