NEW YORK _ Noah Syndergaard contributed probably his worst outing of the season Saturday against the Brewers, and that wasn't even the ugliest part of the Mets' 8-6 loss.
The Mets had three wild pitches, two errors, a passed ball and at least one mental defensive gaffe, Jeurys Familia picking up a slow-roller that appeared to be heading foul, turning it into an RBI single for Christian Yelich. At the plate, the Mets were 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.
At 13-13, the Mets are .500 for the first time this season. Steven Matz gets the ball Sunday opposite Gio Gonzalez, making his season debut, as the Mets try to avoid getting swept.
