Noah Syndergaard smacked his first career home run during Wednesday’s 7-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, and he sent a funny tweet as a result.
Though Syndergaard went 3-for-3 at the plate including the homer, first baseman Lucas Duda was even more impressive and went 3-for-4 with two home runs. That led to this great tweet from Syndergaard:
Duda, you just HAD to show me up and hit 2, didn't you? What a day at the park. Thanks to all the weekday warrior fans for showing up! #LGM

Syndergaard also pitched 7.1 scoreless innings for the win, so we suppose he has a pretty good argument for being the star of the game. He is now 4-for-9 on the season, which is pretty respectable for a pitcher. And check out the big blast he hit — it was way out:
