For the Mets to have any shot at making an improbable run at the postseason at this point in the season, all hope lies in them winning every Jacob deGrom start. They got what they needed last night, although it wasn’t exactly how they drew it up. Their ace, who has been superhuman throughout much of his career, was merely ordinary last night, an unsettling sight to say the least, but his teammates were able to bail him out.
deGrom turned in easily his worst outing of the 2020 season, and perhaps one of the most disappointing of his brilliant career.
