Jacob deGrom’s stellar season: Start #29

Jacob deGrom’s twenty-ninth start was delayed twice. He was originally supposed to start the finale against the Phillies, but with rain in the forecast Corey Oswalt got the start instead. The Mets ended up playing the game uninterrupted and getting the victory. The following day did get rained out so deGrom started the opener against Miami with some extra rest. The delay also unfortunately cost him a start at the end of the year which will cost him some innings in the Cy Young race.

It would have been understandable if deGrom was a bit rusty when his start against the Marlins got underway. By his insane standards, he typically struggles against the Marlins. He is 0-2 this season against them…
