On a night where the Braves did not play, the Mets had an opportunity to gain a half game on Atlanta, while kicking off a 10 game homestand against the Colorado Rockies. With Jacob deGrom on the mound, the Mets did just that, winning 3-1.
deGrom started off his night in typical Jacob deGrom fashion, retiring the first 13 batters he faced. deGrom displayed his routine brilliance, throwing only 50 pitches in the first 4 innings, as he was cruising towards yet another masterpiece.
At the plate, all three of the Mets runs came in the third inning.
