After the Mets broke a three-game losing streak in Game 1 of their doubleheader against the Pirates Wednesday, it was time to go for the sweep with Jacob deGrom on the mound. There wasn’t much of a question as to whether deGrom would bring the goods (he almost always does), but would New York give him any run support?
They did, as the game eventually finished with the Mets winning 10-0. It was their 18th shutout of the season. As for deGrom? He wasn’t his sharpest, but that didn’t matter against one of baseball’s worst teams.
