Noah Syndergaard was the complete package Thursday.
After stumbling through his previous three starts, the Mets right-hander rebounded with a getaway day special: a four-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts in which he homered for the game’s only run in a 1-0 victory over the Reds at Citi Field.
He became the first pitcher in Mets history to throw a complete game and homer for the only run.
The Mets shrugged off a ninth-inning loss from a night earlier, when Jose Iglesias homered against Edwin Diaz for the game’s only run, to finish with a split in the four-game series.
