Lightning strikes in Queens! Cheesy opener but accurate. This website has gone dark lately but its fine, more room for my New York Mets. This Thursday the Cincinnati Reds visited flushing for the final game of the series, and after winning the previous two they felt pretty comfortable. Little did they know they were about to be sucker punched in the sac. Noah Syndergaard, aka Thor, aka the blonde Jesus of baseball just made the Reds and baseball his baby bitch. Syndergaard opened the game and continued to pitch a shutout for all nine innings. He pitched for 10 strikeouts, only 4 hits, and one walk. His era dropped over a full 1 point. He pitched out the final 10 of 11 batters and finished the game with Puig going down looking. But most important of all, he single-handedly won the game. Literally by himself. Leading off in the third Syndergaard blasted the first pitch across the field and over the wall for a juicy home run and the only score of the game. In doing so he is the second pitcher this season to hit multiple homeruns. Moreover, he is the first pitcher to hit a homerun and pitch a shutout since 1983 and the first Met ever. This marks the fourth homerun by a NYM pitcher, double any other team. Ya'll better be sweatin, Mets are taking names and slappin balls. Lets Go Mets!
(Side note, Pete Alonso, rookie first baseman, is making huge moves. He has the record for the seasons highest exit velocity and number four in home runs. Remember the name, hes going places. heard it hear first.)
