MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Mets star pitcher Jacob deGrom didn’t need much help beating the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
With his first swing of the night, deGrom hit the ball farther than any of the Marlins hit it against him.
Often they failed to connect at all.
DeGrom clubbed a homer and struck out a career-high 14 in seven shutout innings to help the New York Mets beat Miami 6-4 Wednesday night and complete a three-game sweep.
DeGrom (2-0) allowed three hits, walked one and ended his streak of five consecutive losses to the lowly Marlins.
