Masterful in his second start of the season versus the Miami Marlins on Saturday, the New York Mets led Jacob deGrom down yet again. deGrom tossed eight innings, allowed only a single run, and struck out 14 Marlins batters. He pitched well enough for a win. Unfortunately, his offense did nothing to help out his cause.
