The Mets are streaking! After playing almost two games worth of baseball last night, the Mets won their 5th game in a row and moved to an even 2-2 against the Marlins this season. It was a real back and forth game as the Marlins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead before the Mets tied it up and then took a 7-4 lead. More odds and ends later and the game 8-8 until the 16th where the Mets got a lead off homer from Travis d’Arnaud and two scoreless innings from Hansel Robles.
Noah Syndergaard will take the mound tonight and will try to carry the sleep deprived Mets. Noah is 1-0 over 2 games this season logging 13.0 innings allowing 10 hits, 2 runs only 1 earned.

In his last five road starts, Syndergaard is 4-0 with a 1.14 ERA (four earned runs/31.2 innings). The Mets are 5-0 in those five games.
Syndergaard is the first starter in modern major league history to strikeout 350 or more batters, while walking 80 or fewer through his first 56 starts.
Terry Collins said before the game that Hansel Robles, Josh Smoker and Addison Reed will get the night off. Fernando Salas will handle closing duties.
Sean Gilmartin has been recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and T.J. Rivera optioned to the 51s.
