Syndergaard Strikes Out 9 As Mets Tie Cardinals
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mets starter Noah Syndergaard continued his outstanding spring, with six solid innings, and New York scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to salvage a 5-5 tie Friday.
Jeurys Familia allowed four hits -- including a home run to Randal Grichuk -- walked two and retired only one batter as the Cardinals scored three in the top of the ninth.
Syndergaard gave up two runs and five hits and struck out nine. Syndergaard has 19 strikeouts and only one walk in four starts this spring.
Matt Adams was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI and Ruben Tejada, who was released by the Mets last week, had a pair of singles for the Cardinals.
St. Louis starter Michael Wacha allowed eight hits and two runs in 4 2/3 innings.
