Jacob deGrom went the distance tonight, making Chicago Cubs hitters look foolish in the process.
The deGrominator allowed just five hits on the evening, while walking four batters and striking out six.
The Mets’ offense took off tonight, as Asdrubal Cabrera hit two solo shots in the first five innings, with the two long balls being his fifth and sixth homers on the season.
Jay Bruce helped carry the load tonight as well. He finished the game with a single, double and homer, finishing a triple shy of the cycle while scoring two runs.
