Noah Syndergaard homers at plate, dominates on mound

Noah Syndergaard’s complete game didn’t need nine innings Wednesday.

The stud rookie turned Citi Field into his personal sandlot, with the kind of all-around performance that should have left the Mets wondering if he can play third base between pitching assignments.

Syndergaard’s 7 1/3 shutout innings and 3-for-3 afternoon at the plate – which included the first home run by a Mets pitcher in three years – led a 7-0 demolition of the Phillies to complete a three-game sweep.

The Mets (27-21) can savor their day off before beginning a three-game series at home against the Marlins on Friday.
