Jacob deGrom Exits Start With 'Right Side Tightness'

The Mets ran their winning streak to a season-best five games with Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks, but the news was not all positive. Ace Jacob deGrom exited the game after starting to warm up for the sixth inning with what the team is calling right side tightness, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

deGrom underwent an MRI after the game, which the team is hoping will reveal nothing that would cause deGrom to miss extensive time.

Despite the early exit, deGrom picked up his third win of the season after allowing one run on one hit and three walks with six strikeouts in five innings, lowering his season ERA to 0.
