Mets pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard had another rough start Thursday in the minors.
Syndergaard entered the season as one of the game's top pitching talents. He's had some hardships this season, dealing with injuries and ineffectiveness. Syndergaard allowed seven runs on nine hits over five innings Thursday. He struck out five and walked three. Syndergaard's Triple-A ERA jumped to 5.74 on the year. He was expected to make his major-league debut at some point this season, but that could be on hold until he turns things around.
