NEW YORK — Forget the hubbub when the benches emptied in the eighth inning after Colorado’s Ian Desmond got drilled in the back by reliever Drew Gagnon.
The real story of Friday night’s game at Citi Field was this: Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela outpitched 2018 National League Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, setting up Colorado’s 5-1 victory over the Mets for its 10th victory in its past 12 games.
OK, back to the brouhaha, for a moment.
Colorado’s David Dahl crushed a two-run home run off Gagnon to the second deck in left field.
