The Miami Marlins showed signs of life against Jacob deGrom in the bottom of the second inning. The Marlins, who inexplicably handled the starting pitcher as well as anyone throughout deGrom’s Cy Young Award-winning 2018, got their first hit in the second inning, a well-struck line drive to left field for Lewis Brinson.
By the top of the third, deGrom had provided Miami an entirely different challenge.
