All he needed was a little push.

Noah Syndergaard’s dominance for Triple-A Las Vegas continued with another gem on Thursday, and there is plenty of sentiment from within the Mets organization the stud right-hander is ready for a promotion should a spot open in what has been a strong rotation.

But the same holds true of lefty Steven Matz, who has nearly matched Syndergaard this season. Syndergaard was largely a disappointment in 2014 at Las Vegas, so why the turnaround?

“He’s got somebody pushing him in Matz and he’s a totally different guy now,” an organizational evaluator said. “[Syndergaard] needed somebody to push him, and when he gets his opportunity in the big leagues, he’s got other guys there that are going to push him so he is going to be good.”

Syndergaard allowed two earned runs on five hits over eight innings with nine strikeouts and no walks — he also went 3-for-4 at the plate with a two-run homer — in helping Las Vegas win its 14th straight game, 8-2 over Albuquerque.

For the season, Syndergaard is 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA.

The Mets are considering adding a spot starter somewhere in the stretch of 20 games in as many days that begins Friday in Philadelphia, but whether it’s Syndergaard or Matz who would get the call may depend largely on who is closer to his normal turn in the rotation.

Matz is 4-1 with a 2.04 ERA and hasn’t benefited from the competition among pitchers as much as Syndergaard, according to the evaluator.

“Matz doesn’t need that,” the evaluator said. “But I really think Matz has really pushed Syndergaard. He’s determined. He’s a different guy.”

Mets starting pitchers have posted a 1.07 ERA in May. Matt Harvey will try to continue the success when the Mets open a three-game series against the Phillies.

Dilson Herrera joined Gregg Jefferies on Wednesday as the only Mets second baseman to hit four home runs in his first 23 games. Herrera hit three last year as a late-season call-up.
