Yesterday’ rain-out for the Mets proves unfortunate for the Diamondbacks. Because it means that Jacob DeGrom, rather than pitching there, will start the opener of the series here in Arizona. The last time he faced us, on May 9, we did catch a bit of a break, as he had to leave the game after only five innings with right-side tightness. He had just allowed one hit in those five frames, but was clearly not right, walking three in his final inning - deGrom had issued just four bases on balls over his first 39 innings before that. He came back last Tuesday, and fired five more innings of one-run ball, keeping his ERA for the year at 0.
