LOS ANGELES (The Sports Xchange) - Daniel Murphy homered and Jacob deGrom struck out a career-high 13, sparking the New York Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game One of their National League Division Series on Friday.

DeGrom's 13 strikeouts tied Tom Seaver's franchise mark, which the Hall of Famer set in Game One of the 1973 National League Championship Series against the Cincinnati Reds.

DeGrom retired the final 11 batters he faced.
