Robert Stephenson struggles in return, Jacob deGrom dazzles in Mets 8-0 win over Reds
The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Jacob deGrom entered play today leading all of baseball in ERA, at 1.85. The New York Mets starter also owned the single best ERA+ in the National League - at 204 - and best FIP in the senior circuit - at 2.27.
Despite all of that, however, he took the mound against the Cincinnati Reds with a worse winning percentage than each of Sal Romano, Matt Harvey, Tyler Mahle, and Anthony DeSclafani, each of whom owns a season ERA nearly three full runs worse than deGrom’s mark prior to today.
