Phillies Lock In World Series Game 3 Starter

It's knotted at one heading into Game 3 tonight in Philadelphia. 

The Philadelphia Phillies will turn to Noah Syndergaard for the start Monday night in Game 3. 

Noah Syndergaard, of course, will be starting his first World Series game since this.

Syndergaard has pitched in three games for the Phillies this postseason, logging a total of just 5.1 innings in those three appearances. 

The thirty-year-old has made just one start this postseason, however, in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves, working just three innings and throwing a total of 35 pitches. The initial expectation is Syndergaard will be used in a similar way against the Houston Astros on Monday night. 

In the regular season this year, Syndergaard posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 95 strikeouts over 134.2 innings of work, split between the Los Angeles Angels and Phillies. He held a 10-10 record.
