Jacob deGrom was likely abducted by aliens Wednesday night and replaced in his body by Rafael Montero, because it seems implausible the Mets ace could have pitched this poorly.
This was deWorst.
After a stretch of five straight respectable starts from the Mets rotation — which included his own gem in Pittsburgh on Friday — deGrom was shellacked for seven runs over four innings in a 7-1 loss to the Brewers at Citi Field that snapped his team’s three-game winning streak.
The Mets could have used a performance in which deGrom worked deep into the game, a night after needing 12 innings to beat these Brewers.
