Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard fell to 1-2 for the season after losing Friday night's game 4-1 to the Pirates.
Syndergaard, the heralded 22-year-old, allowed four runs — three earned — in six innings of work. He gave up seven hits, struck out five and didn't surrender any walks. He now holds an ERA of 3.63 this season.
After giving up five walks in his first two starts, it's a good sign that Syndergaard was able to prevent any from occurring against the Pirates.
Though his stat line wasn't the best, his performance was solid enough for manager Terry Collins to keep him in the rotation.
“Right now, he’s not going anywhere," Collins said, via the Wall Street Journal.
Syndergaard's next start is projected for May 27 against the Phillies.
