Syndergaard didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Padres, giving up five runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk over six innings while striking out five.
The right-hander was headed for his fourth loss of the year before Pete Alonso flipped the script with a dramatic homer in the top of the ninth inning. Syndergaard continues to struggle -- he's allowed at least four runs in six of his eight starts so far -- and he'll carry a 5.14 ERA and 54:12 K:BB through 49 innings into his next outing, currently set for Tuesday on the road against the Nats.
