Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard homered twice, handing Kenta Maeda his second loss of the season and dropping the Dodgers back into a tie for first with the Giants.
Baseball can be a very crazy game. Syndergaard had only hit one home run in his career before tonight. The flame-throwing right-hander looked a bit shaky on the mound in the early-going, but was somehow totally locked in at the plate. He blasted his first home run in the top of the third inning, a solo shot to right-center. But Corey Seager answered back with a solo shot of his own in the bottom half of the frame, and Grandal even gave Maeda the lead back with a home run in the fourth.
