After multiple outings were pushed back for rest and other reasons that were called out by Mets fans as elusive, Noah Syndergaard finally faced his former team on Wednesday afternoon.

The Mets pulled out the win, but Syndergaard was solid, allowing two runs over six innings of work, and dismissed the anticipated start as just another game.

“There’s a lot of new faces over there,” Syndergaard said. “There’s guys like [Brandon] Nimmo, Pete [Alonso], [Jeff] McNeil, [Tomas] Nido, Drew Smith in the bullpen, those guys I had the luxury of playing with and wearing that Mets jersey with them.

“But other than that, it was just another day at the yard.”

Syndergaard last pitched for the Mets in 2021, and is now with his third team since leaving New York. He holds a 4.91 ERA in four starts with Los Angeles.
