LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) — Credit Thor with the victory on the mound and at the plate.
Noah Syndergaard became the second pitcher in Mets history to hit two home runs in a game on Wednesday night, driving in all of New York’s runs in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“I don’t think I ever hit two home runs in Little League,” he said. “To hit two home runs in a big league game, especially with a pitcher like (Kenta) Maeta out there, it was an ultimate experience.”
Syndergaard (3-2) allowed two runs and six hits in eight innings, tying the longest outing of his career, struck out six and walked one.
