For quite some time this season, Mets rookie starter Noah Syndergaard was virtually unhittable. Suddenly, however, he's very hittable.
Syndergaard struggled again, this time in Baltimore. He gave up three runs on eight hits in five innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
He retired eight in a row at one point in the first three innings before falling apart. A double, walk and Steve Clevenger single put one run on the board in the fourth and a two-run homer by Jonathan Schoop in the sixth all but knocked him out.
Syndergaard has allowed 11 runs over his last three starts covering 16 innings to send his ERA up from 2.66 to 3.17.
