Noah Syndergaard didn’t have his personal catcher, his release point or his best stuff. But he had enough to help pitch the Mets to a series-clinching 4-3 win over Washington.
Despite pitching to Wilson Ramos instead of personal catcher Tomas Nido for the first time since June 15, Syndergaard allowed two runs in seven innings in a no-decision Saturday at Citi Field.
“Noah said let’s do it and he went out there and threw another seven innings of two-run ball. He was really battling his arm slot, but he grinded through it, and Ramos really helped him,” manager Mickey Callaway said.
