The Mets needed that one last night. After losing a couple of games in a row, and losing David Wright officially for extended period of time, the joy was starting to escape Metsville. Luckily, Syndergaard was there to get it back for the start of a series with the Marlins. Between his strong pitching and Cabrera’s + Loney’s bat, the Mets were able to take the opener. Today the look for the series behind Big Sexy as he faces Justin Nicolino.
