If the Mets were searching for a silver lining this season, look no further than the play of ace righthander Jacob deGrom.
On Tuesday, deGrom registered his 26th straight start allowing three runs or fewer, surrendering just two runs across seven innings against the Marlins. The previous record was set by Leslie "King" Cole in 1908. It took 108 years for his mark to be topped. Once again though, the Mets handed their ace a tough-luck loss. deGrom's record dropped to 8-9 on the year.
His quality outing actually raised his league-leading ERA from 1.68 to 1.
