Syndergaard took a no-decision despite allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk over seven innings Tuesday against the Marlins. He struck out 12.
Syndergaard's high in strikeouts last season was 13 on July 10 against Arizona, the only time he struck out a dozen or more hitters in 2015. He now has 21 strikeouts in 13 innings to start the season and has a 0.69 ERA. Given his outstanding velocity and movement, Syndergaard's potential is off the charts, and his first two starts of 2016 thus far shows why expectations are so high.
