Syndergaard (5-5) struck out nine in lowering his ERA to 2.70.
The hard-throwing righty had struck out seven in his 14th major league start.
Shortstop Andres Blanco drove in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning and left-hander Adam Morgan pitched six innings as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2. The Mets have scored 22 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last eight games. The Mets improved to 52-48 and trail Washington by one game in the National League East. In that game he allowed 7 ERs on 10 hits in 4 innings of work. James is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 2 carer starts vs. the Mets. His streak of unbeaten home starts to start a career is the longest in the majors since 1914. That was the 10th multi-homer game of Davis’ career and the third this season.
While the Mets received a few bad news off the field last night, the on-field result was as good as possible (even if it wasn’t perfect).
LeMahieu, who also drew a walk, kicked off a four-run first with an RBI double, and the Rockies jumped to a quick lead never trailed on the way to their second win in three games.
For six innings, he was flawless, holding the Padres without a single base-runner. All in all, a great game for the Mets.
Eric Hosmer’s home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning broke a 1-1 tie and lifted the streaking Kansas City Royals to a 2-1 win over the fading Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
Jaime Garcia (3-4), activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day, made his first start since June 2 and gave up three runs and four hits in six innings. It was the second two-run home run in the Mets 4-0 shutout victory over the San Diego Padres.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Rookie Curt Casali had three hits and homered twice for the second straight game, leading Tampa Bay to a victory over slumping Detroit.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Joey Votto hit a three-run home run in support of Mike Leake, and Cincinnati beat St. Louis. He struck out with the bases loaded in the eighth, finishing 3 for 4 with three RBIs on consecutive nights.
ARLINGTON, Texas – Buoyed by an 11-run second inning, the Yankees stormed back from a 5-0 deficit and pummeled Texas.
