NEW YORK -- Noah Syndergaard won for the first time in five weeks, knocking in two early runs against the team that traded him to rouse a sluggish New York Mets offense Tuesday night during a 12-2 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Missing injured sluggers Yoenis Cespedes and Todd Frazier from a slumping lineup, the Mets finally broke through anyway against Jaime Garcia and the skidding Blue Jays after an 86-minute rain delay at the start.
Juan Lagares had four hits, three RBI and a stolen base to help New York improve to 12-0 at home against Toronto -- the longest such streak in interleague history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
