Major League Baseball named Noah Syndergaard the National League Player of the Week after he allowed just one earned run in 14.1 innings last week, good for a 0.63 ERA. He joined Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as the week’s two award winners for the American and National Leagues.
In two starts against the White Sox and Pirates, the big righty struck out fourteen batters while walking just two. He went 1-0, and the Mets won both of the games he started. The game against Chicago was particularly notable since it was his last start before the trade deadline and his name had been linked to multiple trade rumors at the time.
