they showed plenty of heart in loss to Portland

Noah Syndergaard, Mets hammer Dodgers into submission
Bound locks dangling down to his shoulders, blue eyes burning
beneath his cap, he looks like a character plucked from a Norse myth and
clothed with a New York Mets uniform. His fans call him Thor, and Noah
Syndergaard lives his gimmick. He is not a superhero. He merely resembles
one when he steps between the lines of a baseball diamond.
In a 4-3 defeat of the Dodgers on Wednesday night, Syndergaard stilled his
hosts with his arm and stunned them with his bat. He drove in four runs on a
pair of home runs, becoming the first pitcher in nearly a decade to go deep
twice in one night. As a sidebar to the offensive carnage, the right-hander
logged eight innings, struck out six and stymied any Dodgers momentum
created by Tuesday's walk-off victory.
