Mike Puma NY Post: No-show offense can’t help pedestrian Syndergaard in Mets loss. "As the Mets lineup continued to exercise its Miranda rights — choosing to remain silent — Syndergaard, in his third major league start, gave the team six respectable innings in a 4-1 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park"

Syndergaard (1-2) was charged for four runs, only one of which was earned, on six hits over six innings. He received no help from his defense in the second inning on a Gregory Polanco grounder off Lucas Duda’s glove leading to an error and two unearned runs (originally ruled a hit - later changed to an error). An errant pick off throw by Syndergaard in the 6th lead to another run. Gerrit Cole K'd 10 allowing just one unearned run on a wild pitch that scored Juan Larages in the 3rd putting Kevin Plawecki on 3rd with 1 out and giving the Mets a chance to tie the game at 2. Curtis Granderson then K'd and Eric Campbell flew out to end the threat.
