Mets&#8217; manager Mickey Callaway delivered the news prior to today&#8217;s exhibition game with the Houston Astros, which Syndergaard started. Syndergaard, who gave up one run and struck out five in 4.2 innings in the Mets&#8217; 6-1 loss, also drew the Opening Day assignment last season. This makes Syndergaard the first Mets&#8217; starter to start on consecutive Opening Days since Johan Santana from 2008-2010.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_799045\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-799045\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img alt=\"Noah Syndergaard Draws Opening Day Start For New York Mets\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-799045\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.usatodaysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2018\/03\/usatsi_10698579.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-799045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar 13, 2018; Port St. Lucie, FL, USA; New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (34) delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Houston Astros during a spring training game at First Data Field.

This is a minor disappointment for deGrom, who pitched well enough to justify the assignment last season, but the fact that he will be ready to go for the Mets&#8217; second game of the year is very encouraging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an announcement that seemed inevitable, the New York Mets tabbed Noah Syndergaard as their Opening Day starter today, MetsBlog.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":799129,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[547148942],"tags":[103564166,14441,37655261],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
