New York Mets, Syndergaard Welcome In Padres To Citi

Noah Syndergaard will get the ball tonight as his New York Mets welcome in James Shields and the San Diego Padres to Citi Field.

What a difference a week makes. Suddenly, after the acquisitions of Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson and Tyler Clippard, the New York Mets feel rejuvenated. They’ll look to keep a short two game winning streak alive tonight as they welcome in the San Diego Padres.

Noah Syndergaard (4-5, 2.97 ERA) will matchup with James Shields (8-3, 3.77 ERA).
