Syndergaard did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and zero walks across six innings during a 2-1 loss to Arizona. He struck out six.
Syndergaard kept the bases clear for the most part, but the lone extra-base hit he allowed came in the fifth inning and tied the score at 1-1. The veteran right-hander dealt with a blister at the end of spring training, but he appears to be 100 percent and looked sharp in his regular-season debut. Across 25 appearances with the Angels and Phillies last season, Syndergaard posted a 3.94 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with a 95:31 K:BB across 134.2 innings.
