Despite another early exit for New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom, the Amazin’s managed to pull out a win. This is the second start in a row where number 48 has left the game early. Last time it was six innings, this time it was three.
Obviously, deGrom missing time is not ideal. This rings especially true in the next stretch of games where the Mets play 32 games in 30 days including several doubleheaders.
