After Jacob deGrom’s gem in Game 1, Noah Syndergaard had a tough act to follow in Game 2 of the NLDS Saturday night in sunny Los Angeles. He was very good until faltering in a wild seventh inning, which included a controversial call that turned the game around, and now the series is tied at one game apiece.
The Mets used the long ball to jump out to an early lead against Zack Greinke. Yoenis Cespedes homered to lead off the second.
