Remembering Mets History (2019) Noah Syndergaard Pitches A Shut Out & Hits A HR In The 1-0 Win
On this day their hitting straggles continued, but their pitching was exceptional, as Noah Syndergaard did it all by himself.
The Mets hosted David Bell's, Cincinnati Reds (13-18), as Noah went up against Tyler Mahle.
Syndergard began the game, fanning the first two Red. He then allowed a base hit but got Yasiel Puig to pop out to short stop to end the inning.
In the bottom of the 3rd, Noah led off the inning with a HR to left center field.
It was the second of two HRs he would hit that season. The first had come on April 21st, two starts earlier, in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals in St. Louis.
Trivia: In his career he has hit six HRs, one in his Rookie Year of 2015, also the Mets NL championship season. Then he hit three in 2016.Noah's run would be all the Mets offense could put up that day, as they would only scatter three total hits on the day as well.
On the mound, Noah would strike out ten & allow just four singles on the day.
In the 9th inning, clinging to his one run lead, he struck out the leadoff man & got the second hitter to fly out.
Derek Dietrich then singled & pinch runner Michael Lorenzen stole second. But Noah struck out Yasiel Puig looking to end the exciting game, with a 1-0 win.
