The Mets got back into the win column on Tuesday night at Citi Field in a game that became way closer than it ever should have been. Taking the mound for the first time in a week after the Mets COVID-19 induced stoppage of play, Jacob deGrom had his best start of the season, and proved once again why he’s the best pitcher in the game.
deGrom came out of the gates firing, throwing his fastball at a much higher rate than he has all season. After working around a walk in both the first and second innings, deGrom was nearly unhittable for the rest of the game.
