NY Post: Mets’ Noah Syndergaard gets no run support, loses MLB debut. "Syndergaard was solid into the sixth inning before allowing three runs, on a night the Mets lost their second straight, 6-1 to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Mets’ top pitching prospect threw 103 pitches over 5 ¹/₃ innings in which he surrendered three earned runs on six hits with six strikeouts and four walks."

ESPN.com: Arrieta, Bryant lead Cubs past Mets 6-1. "Arrieta pitched eight sparkling innings, Bryant homered for the second straight day and the Chicago Cubs spoiled Syndergaard's anticipated debut with a 6-1 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Arrieta (4-3) had a season-high 10 strikeouts and allowed one run and three hits. The right-hander had dropped each of his last two starts...Showing off his electric fastball and sharp curve, Syndergaard had moments where he looked ready to join Matt Harvey on top of a fearsome rotation for New York. But the 6-foot-6 right-hander faded in the sixth and was charged with three runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings."




The  Mets maintained their 2.5 game lead over the Washington Nationals as they also lost, 14-6 to the Diamondbacks.
