Also lasting six innings, deGrom limited the damage to four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks, temporarily overtaking Jeff Samardzija for the NL innings lead. deGrom also ranks second in the league in strikeouts -- he established a career high with 206 -- though he could not record his 15th victory, which would have matched the NL's leaders.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Scooting home: Mets shortstop Amed Rosario couldn't quite make a play on Eugenio Suarez's ground ball to lead off the second inning, resulting in an infield hit.
