![]() ![]() Basically, he did his job and left with the Phillies leading. In three innings of work, he allowed just a solo homer (one run on one hit) while striking out three, all on just 35 pitches. The plan heading into the game, however, was just for Syndergaard to get through the Braves' lineup one time. He also got an inning of work in relief in Game 2, so it might've been a bit head-scratching for some people when the Phillies tabbed him as the Game 4 starter.
