The Mets fell to the Marlins 10-3 this afternoon at First Data Field in Port St. Lucie. Noah Syndergaard looked dominant for most of his outing, but fell victim to the home run ball, which made his pitching line look uglier than the stuff he had on the mound today. After struggling to put hitters away last season despite having arguably the best stuff of any starter in the game, Syndergaard expressed a desire to rack up more strikeouts this season. In that regard, he was successful today, flashing an absolutely filthy slider and amassing eight strikeouts in his four innings of work.
