KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In his bid to repeat as the National League Cy Young-award winner, Jacob deGrom may have a difficult time catching a certain Dodgers left-hander, but the Mets ace has certainly resembled the 2018 version of himself since the All-Star break.
The award could be Hyun-Jin Ryu’s to lose at this point. And yet deGrom continues to churn out dominant innings that scream “Don’t forget about me.”
Saturday night he carried his team to a much-needed victory against a doormat. With the Mets scratching for three runs late, they beat the Royals 4-1 at Kauffman Stadium to keep a needed series victory in play.
