Final score: Mets 6, Marlins 2—Syndergaard strikes out nine, Mets hit three home runs

Noah Syndergaard wasn't even at his best, but he still struck out nine and walked just one as the Mets beat the Marlins 6-2 in the first of three games in Miami. Syndergaard gave up two runs, the first of which came on a Marcell Ozuna home run in the second.

The Mets answered that with an Asdrubal Cabrera home run in the fourth, and later in that inning, Wilmer Flores hit a broken bat, two-out single to put the Mets up 2-1. Syndergaard allowed another run in the sixth on a sac fly by Ozuna, but the Mets answered that quickly, as James Loney hit a two-run bomb in the seventh.

After Addison Reed threw a fantastic eighth inning, Rene Rivera really put the game out of reach with a bomb of his own in the top of the ninth.
