Syndergaard (3-4) tossed seven innings Sunday, yielding two runs on five hits and a walk while taking the loss in Miami. He struck out three batters.
Syndergaard was locked into a pitcher's duel with Sandy Alcantara through five innings before Miami finally put a run on the board in the sixth frame. The low strikeout number is disappointing, but it's still a promising start from the 6-foot-6 right-hander. He lowered his ERA to 4.50 after entering May with a hideous 6.35. Thor will look to get back in the win column at home against Detroit on Friday.
