The New York Mets had a 4-0 lead but couldn't hold on as the Chicago White Sox rallied to a 6-4 win. The White Sox ended their seven game losing streak.

The Mets jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a sacrifice fly by Yoenis Cespedes to left field that scored Curtis Granderson. Granderson hit a sac-fly of his own in the second that scored Wilmer Flores.

In the third, with Michael Conforto on, Neil Walker belted his 13th home run of the season. With the Mets up 4-0 they looked well on their way to another win, and handing the White Sox their eighth loss in a row.

Mets rookie starting pitcher Steven Matz went 5.2 innings with three strikeouts while allowing three runs. Todd Frazier hit a two run homer in the sixth and Dioner Navarro got an RBI single to make ait a 4-3 deficit.

One of the biggest story lines of the night was Noah Syndergaard coming out of the bullpen. He got ejected very early in his start on Saturday night for throwing behind Chase Utley. Mets manager Terry Collins said he hoped to use Syndergaard from the bullpen on Tuesday night. He came in during the seventh inning and struck out two batters while allowing no runs. The rest of the Mets pen, could not hold off the White Sox and protect the Mets 4-3 lead. Hansel Robles took the loss as he allowed the decisive three runs in the eighth inning.

"It was frustrating. I was trying to do my job and go out and throw zeros across the board, but that occured," said Robles.

Tyler Saladino hit a two run homer and Brett Lawrie added an RBI single as the White Sox held off the Mets to win 6-4.

"It's obvious, command of his fastball. He's getting in deep counts, getting to where he pretty much has to throw his fastball and he's not making a pitch with it," said manager Terry Collins.

The third and final game takes place today at 1:10 as Jacob deGrom (3-1, 2.81 ERA) goes up against Miguel Gonzalez (0-1, 4.50 ERA).
