Final Score: Mets 5, Cardinals 0—deGrom dominates
Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsJacob deGrom looked like an ace and Lucas Duda looked like a power hitter as the Mets shut out one of the best offenses in baseball.
Jacob deGrom turned in the best performance by a Mets pitcher so far this year in dominating the Cardinals this afternoon, striking out 11 over 8 innings of work. The only baserunner he allowed came on a first-inning single by Matt Carpenter. He looked as good as that sounds, painting the black consistently and pretty much hitting any spot he wanted with his array of pitches. Jeurys Familia closed out the game with a scoreless ninth.
