The Atlanta Braves got on Noah Syndergaard early, tagging him for three runs in the first inning. That was all they would get over six innings of work, but it was enough for rookie Mike Soroka and the Braves to outlast the Mets in last night’s game. The Mets’ efforts at a late-inning comeback fell short this time. Yoenis Cespedes, back from his thumb injury, collected three hits in the loss.
The bright side of last night’s game is that after being sidelined for a couple of days with a thumb injury that could have been much worse, Yoenis Cespedes looks no worse for wear.
