Despite being a Citi Field day when the weather made folks search their cell phones for topics like, “Frostbite; prevention and treatment of,” Mets ace Noah Syndergaard put in a heavy workload. He went 5 ¹/u2083 innings, throwing 101 pitches. For most pitchers this early in the season, that would empty the tank.
Spoiler alert: Syndergaard is not like most pitchers.
“I feel like I didn’t even really break a sweat out there, to be honest,” Syndergaard said after his work resulted in 11 strikeouts — including eight in a row at one point — but no decision in the Mets’ 3-2 victory over the Brewers on Sunday.
