Frankly, it is wholly appropriate. New York Mets’ young ace right-hander Noah Syndergaard, nicknamed ‘Thor’ due to his looks and the thunder and lightning delivered by his powerful right arm, was typically dominant in this start.
Syndergaard allowed just five hits over seven innings, striking out eight and walking two, with 64 of his 94 pitches going for strikes in leading the Mets to a 5-2 victory.
