New York Mets ace Noah Syndergaard left his start against the Washington Nationals in the second inning with an injury on a day to forget for his team. The team announced Syndergaard has “a possible lat strain” and was headed to New York for an MRI.

The right-hander was making his first start since April 20. He was a late scratch from his last scheduled outing Thursday against the Atlanta Braves due to biceps discomfort. But he threw a bullpen Friday, said he felt fine and refused an MRI. “I think I know my body best,” Syndergaard told reporters at the time. “I’m pretty in tune with my body, and that’s exactly why I refused to take the MRI.”

The day was about to get worse for the Mets though, as Anthony Rendon – and the rest of his team-mates – feasted on their opponents. Rendon had 10 RBIs, three home runs and six hits as his team set a franchise scoring record.

Rendon went a career-best 6 for 6 and scored five times while setting a club mark for RBIs. He became the 13th player in major league history to drive in 10 or more in a game, and first since Garret Anderson did it for the Angels in 2007.

Matt Wieters added two homers, a single and two walks as the Nationals salvaged the finale of a three-game series. Adam Lind and Bryce Harper also homered, and Harper scored four runs.

Washington finished with a season-high 23 hits and scored the most runs in the history of the Expos/Nationals franchise. The Nationals’ seven homers were their most since the team moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005.
