Mets starter Noah Syndergaard (1-1) earned his first MLB victory Sunday, allowing one run on three hits in six innings to defeat the Brewers.
Syndergaard breezed into the sixth inning but was shaken up after hitting Carlos Gomez in the head with a 97-mph fastball, forcing the centerfielder to leave the game.
Ryan Braun followed shortly with an RBI single, the only blemish for Syndergaard.
"It's never really happened," Syndergaard said about hitting Gomez. "It kind of rattled me a little bit."
Syndergaard fanned five and walked one in the outing.
"He doesn't just go out there and say, 'Hey, I've got great stuff, I'm just going to pitch,'" Mets manager Terry Collins said.
Syndergaard will look for career win number two Friday when he starts next in Pittsburgh.
