For a player who had put up 3.3 fWAR over 19 starts entering Sunday, there has certainly been a bit of an air of disappointment regarding Noah Syndergaard’s 2018 season. Syndergaard’s previous start against the Cubs was a rough one, where he has hit hard, allowing four runs in six innings. Questions as to when fans might see the dominant outings Syndergaard’s stuff seems to promise only increased. Sunday afternoon in San Francisco, Syndergaard responded with his best start of the season—and first career complete game—in an exciting 4-1 Mets victory.
