PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jacob deGrom felt great in his return from the disabled list. He didn’t allow a run or even a hit.
Trouble was, deGrom, lasted only one inning,
DeGrom needed 45 pitches to get three outs, and pinch-hitter Nick Williams had a go-ahead, three-run homer off Paul Seward in the sixth inning that carried the Philadelphia Phillies over the Mets 4-2 Sunday.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody throw 40-something pitches and not give up a run,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.
After missing a start because of a hyperextended right elbow, DeGrom said he had control of only his fastball and slider as he walked his first three batters.
